Code in a switch statement in probe_pcache checks the CPU type twice unnecessarily for processor implementations that have the alias removal feature reported by the CP0 Config7.AR and Config7.IAR bits. This change rewrites the affected fragment avoiding the extraneous check and improving readability. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Since nobody bothered to earn credit for integrating the proposal I posted earlier on: http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=alpine.LFD.2.10.1403222210230.21669%40eddie.linux-mips.org I decided to take the credit myself. Ralf, please apply.
