Get it applied via sta...@kernel.org.

And please fix your MUA to not produce TOFU.

the newest version of this patch:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mips/patch/20210322015902.18451-1-yunqiang...@cipunited.com/

Is it possible for Debian's kernel to apply this patch?

This patch for kernel can fix this problem.

Let's wait for the reply of kernel upstream community.

This option is also a dependency of several types of CPU support.  So it
might not be feasable to disable.

Sure, by discontinuing support for go on mips for example.

The kernel already does.  But it seems go decided to set the FPXX marker
on it's objects.  See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/39435

Yes. It will be a problem to run with buster's golang program on
bullseys's kernel.
Let's have another way to get this problem sloved without revert this changes.

Maybe detect the golang applications and run them in FP32 mode?

Could the mips porters comment on this? Given that we're close to the release
of bullseye, I'm not convinced it's a good idea to change this now.
