I have checked out the base commit and applied your patch and I am really 
impressed:

arch/mips/boot/uImage: u-boot legacy uImage, Linux-4.0.0-rc5+, Linux/MIPS, OS 
Kernel Image (gzip), 2753935 bytes, Sat Apr  4 19:22:25 2015, Load Address: 
0x80010000, Entry Point: 0x803E98A0, Header CRC: 0xEE3F7379, Data CRC: 
0xC81DF3D8

So we have a great starting point. At least it compiles :)

Kudos to Paul!

Next I will add Daniel’s patch and if you agree I will add your “Signed-off”.

I assume Linux will publish 4.0.0-rc7 on Monday/Tuesday. Then I will upgrade 
(merge)
and publish the results.

Maybe for simplicity I will merge the MIPS work with the GTA04 ARM work,
since they should not interfere and just having one branch for multiple machines
is the easiest. I will keep you updated where the tree finally is :)

BR,
Nikolaus
