So if you have a plain 24K (or 24Kc or > 24Kf or other non-24KE based 24K variant), wire this to 0. If you have > a 24KE family core then removing the definition is the right thing. The AR71xx/AR724x/AR913x/AR933x SoCs are using the 24Kc core, but the AR934x SoCs are using 74K. The ath79 platform code can support all of these SoCs within a single kernel, so removing the definition seems to be the right thing. Although it would be possible to optimize things if only the 24K or the 74K based SoCs are selected, but that would require ugly ifdef statements. > >> -#define cpu_has_mipsmt 0 > > Neither implements the MT ASE, so best leave these defined to 0.

Thank you for the review! -Gabor
