Hi, MIPS maintainers Recently Loongson has released their now SystemOnChip chip called Loongson2K, and I'm going to submit patches for that chip soon. But I noticed that currently, Loongson64 code in mainline kernel is pretty in confusion. We mixed loongson2e/2f/3a/3b together in /arch/mips/loongson64, but they don't have many similarities. 2E/2F are legacy products that don't support many features such as EFI or SMBIOS, only a little code can be reused with 3 series. After discussed with another maintainer Huacai Chen, we thought we can separate 2E/2F with 3 series and make 4 directories. /loongson-1 (Loongson 1B/1C Micro Control Units formal loongson32) /loongson-2ef (Loongson 2E/2F legacy CPU machines formal loongson64/lemote-2f fuloong-2e) /loongson-2soc (Loongson2H/2K SoCs will be submited latter) /loongson-3 (Loongson 3A/3B CPU machines formal loongson64/loongson3) So we can maintain code for different family chips easier. Just ask if anybody have a better idea about that. BTW: My recent patches have been ignored for a long time. Probably because Ralf didn't appear for a long time. Just ask if these patches can get a chance to be applied. And I don't know what's the proper upstream for me, Ralf's mips-next or James's mips-next? -- Jiaxun Yang
