Commit 842dfc11ea9a ("MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+") in v3.18 enabled -msoft-float and sprinkled ".set hardfloat" where necessary to use FP instructions. However it missed enable_restore_fp_context() which since v3.17 does a ctc1 with inline assembly, causing the following assembler errors on Mentor's 2014.05 toolchain: {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:2913: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips32r2 (mips32r2) `ctc1 $2,$31' scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'arch/mips/kernel/traps.o' failed Fix that to use the new write_32bit_cp1_register() macro so that ".set hardfloat" is automatically added when -msoft-float is in use.
