We expect that a kernel with CONFIG_FPU=y can still support no-FPU machines. To do so, the kernel should first examine the existence of a FPU, then do nothing if a FPU does exist; otherwise, it should disable/bypass all FPU-related functions. In this patch, a new global variable, has_fpu, is created and determined when parsing the hardware capability from device tree during booting. This variable is used in those FPU-related functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
