Not going to comment on the Loongson-specific code which doesn't make
much sense to me (the patch doesn't explain anything about what it is
actually doing), but...

... that's a pretty horrible way of hooking up inside a random driver.
Doesn't MIPS have some form of multi-platform kernel? If you need to add
something like this, it'd be better to set it at runtime, once you've
made sure that you're on the relevant HW (and preferably using an accessor).
Thanks,
