There are places, for example arch/mips/mm/cache.c, but
also some of the other makefiles, where you're using your
new config flags to drive things where the standard
CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 (which I guess has now fragmented into
CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R1 and CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2, which would
apply to the Sc and Sd respectively) would do the right thing
while creating fewer source file mods.



That's correct but CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_Rx seems to be a fallback case.
Don't other cpu use their own flags whereas they could just use
CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_Rx flag instead ?

I think that those other CPUs aren't, strictly speaking,
MIPS32-compliant CPUs in one respect or another, so they
end up picking up MIPS32 kernel behavior "a la carte".
The 4KS family is a strict superset.
