That's a bit a heavyhanded move - it will disable ALL R2 optimizations
and feature support - try running git grep -w cpu_has_mips_r2 arch/mips.
Also it will cause the kernel to missreport the CPU has R1 or as in
case of the Loongson 2 with this patch even as MIPS III which in turn
will mean certain programs will fail to detect and exploit the full
capabilities of the CPU.

Was this really intended?  I doubt it.

I suggest a bit of a less heavy-handed approach as illustrated in below
incomplete patch.

Would that work for you?
