Subject: MIPS: BMIPS: BMIPS5000 has I cache filing from D cache
commit c130d2fd3d59fbd5d269f7d5827bd4ed1d94aec6 upstream.
BMIPS5000 and BMIPS52000 processors have their I-cache filling from the
D-cache. Since BMIPS_GENERIC does not provide (yet) a
cpu-feature-overrides.h file, this was not set anywhere, so make sure
the R4K cache detection takes care of that.
