OK, I will resend this patch after a long time, until no applications be broken. BTW, can these two patches be merged? or do they have problems to be fix? http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11272/ http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11273/ ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Ralf Baechle"<ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Date: Tue, Nov 10, 2015 07:12 PM To: "Huacai Chen"<chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx>; Cc: "John Crispin"<john@xxxxxxxxxxx>; "Steven J.

I do understand why you want to make this change - but things in proc including CPU names are interfaces and those are cast in stone. You can't just call a potatoe a cherry today :-) Unless you have a good reason which would include demonstrating that is not breaking any existing application code?
