[PATCH] mips: Realtek RTL: select NO_EXCEPT_FILL

From: Sander Vanheule
Date: Sun Jan 15 2023 - 07:19:45 EST


The CPUs in these SoCs support MIPS32 R2, and allow ebase relocation.
Even if the default exception base of 0x80000000 is used, the
MIPS_GENERIC load address of 0x80100000 leaves sufficient space to not
need an extra 0x400 bytes of padding.

Olliver has suggested to make this change, in order to reduce the delta
with a fully generic MIPS kernel.
I hope the patch description makes sense, as I based the argumentation
on the behaviour of the code, and similar commits 7d6d28377783 ("MIPS:
Loongson64: select NO_EXCEPT_FILL") and dd54dedd947d ("MIPS: BCM47XX:
select NO_EXCEPT_FILL"). The change was tested on an RTL8380 and an
RTL8393 device, where it appears to work as expected.

Best,
Sander
