John, Your commit 715f2e581856 ("MIPS: ralink: cleanup early_printk") landed in today's linux-next (ie, next-20141027). It adds two checks for CONFIG_SOC_MT7621. The patch to add Kconfig symbol SOC_MT7621 is still pending (see http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/8033/ ). Obviously, until that patch lands these two checks will always evaluate to false.
