From 3f059a7e8c13c62addc1808d13a41d1f6dc24bd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xi Ruoyao Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2021 20:49:09 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mips: remove reference to "newer Loongson-3" Newest Loongson-3 processors have moved to use LoongArch architecture. Sadly, the LL/SC issue is still existing on both latest Loongson-3 processors using MIPS64 (Loongson-3A4000) and LoongArch (Loongson-3A5000). As it's very unlikely there will be new Loongson-3 processors using MIPS64, let's stop people from false hoping.
