[PATCH] MIPS: use FR=1 for FPXX binary

[PATCH] MIPS: use FR=1 for FPXX binary

[YunQiang Su]

some binary, for example the output of golang, may be mark as FPXX,
while in fact they are still FP32.

Since FPXX binary can work with both FR=1 and FR=0, we force it to
use FR=1 here.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

You also forgot to sign off on your patch :(
