I was able to figure that out. But changing '''hal/public/mips-le-
elf.inc''' 's '''71st line''' to '''COPTS+= -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic
-mips32 -Wa,--trap \''' fails to compile. If it is '''COPTS+= -G 0 -mno-
abicalls -fno-pic -mips32r2 -Wa,--trap \''', it compiles fine.

> I figured out what was wrong. It was some bus arbitration issue with
the board which when solved, solved the whole issue. But only after
applying the above mentioned patch i was able to compile the driver.
