    MIPS: make CPU_HAS_LOAD_STORE_LR opt-out · 18d84e2e
    Alexander Lobakin authored
    CPU_HAS_LOAD_STORE_LR was introduced in 932afdee ("MIPS: Add Kconfig
    variable for CPUs with unaligned load/store instructions") to make code
    in kernel/unaligned.c and lib/mem{cpy,set}.S more intuitive and give a
    possibility to easily add new CPUs without these instruction sets in
    future.
    
    Hovewer, this variant is not optimal for mainly two reasons:
    * For now, we have 20+ CPUs with such instructions and only two (MIPS R6)
      without. It will obviously be more effective and straightforward to
      have an option for these two rather than for the rest.
    * You can easily miss the fact that you need to select this option when
      adding a new CPU, while all processors lacking these sets are
      well-known, so the probability of missing something is way much lower.
    
    We can address both points by turning CPU_HAS_LOAD_STORE_LR into opt-out
    CPU_NO_LOAD_STORE_LR. This also makes MIPS root Kconfig more clear and
    understandable.
