Re: [PATCH v2] Revert "MIPS: make CAC_ADDR and UNCAC_ADDR account for PHYS_OFFSET"

This is a precursor for EVA specs implementation on Aptiv cores.

EVA has different virtual address sets for kernel and user space and it can use memory on different physical address location. For exam, on Malta it can use a natural 0x80000000, one our customer put memory into 0x40000000 etc.

While the patch itself is looking sane at a glance, I'm wondering if this
is fixing any actual bug or is just the result of a code review?
