Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] MIPS: Deprecate VPE Loader
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 09:47:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474361249-31064-7-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@imgtec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1474361249-31064-1-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@imgtec.com>

The MIPS remote processor driver (CONFIG_MIPS_RPROC) provides a more
standard mechanism for using one or more VPs as coprocessors running
separate firmware.

Here we deprecate this mechanism before it is removed.
