commit a63d706ea719190a79a6c769e898f70680044d3e upstream.
Since commit 3af5a67c86a3 ("MIPS: Fix early CM probing") the MT7621 has
not been able to boot.
This commit caused mips_cm_probe() to be called before
mt7621.c::proc_soc_init().
prom_soc_init() has a comment explaining that mips_cm_probe() "wipes out
the bootloader config" and means that configuration registers are no
longer available. It has some code to re-enable this config.
Before this re-enable code is run, the sysc register cannot be read, so
when SYSC_REG_CHIP_NAME0 is read, a garbage value is returned and
panic() is called.
If we move the config-repair code to the top of prom_soc_init(), the
registers can be read and boot can proceed.
Very occasionally, the first register read after the reconfiguration
returns garbage, so add a call to __sync().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
