I've checked this issue in Toshiba.  As far as I could know, Toshiba
is using PrIDs which are assigned through the agreement between MIPS
Technology and Toshiba.  I hope that the R4650 value in the source
code is in error, too.


BTW Toshiba is also working for Linux on MIPS.  Porting to TX3912,
TX3922, and TX4955 is done on our reference boards.  We made a contact
with Ralf and asked him how to contribute our code.  Our engneer is
now cleaning up code and I hope he will release it in these months.
