It even triggers a bug in Patchwork - it doens't handle subject-less
patches very gracefully.

+static void gpr_power_off(void)
+{
+       printk(KERN_ALERT "It's now safe to remove power\n");

My favorite line to delete from kernel patches.  Messages to the user
belong into userspace.

+		asm volatile (".set mips3 ; wait ; .set mips0");
+}

+static void gpr_power_off(void)
+{
[..]
+	while (1)
+		asm volatile (".set mips3 ; wait ; .set mips0");
+}

Call cpu_wait() instead of open coding the WAIT instruction.  This avoids
certain restrictions of the WAIT instruction.

I've sorted that and also updated the defconfig file.  As is due to
other changes make gpr_defconfig did configure a kernel for IP22.  The
changed kconfig behaviour is worse than useless!

Queued for 2.6.36,
