We can get the latest LoongArch documents or LoongArch tools at https://github.com/loongson/ This target/loongarch/README file doesn't exist in git master, so presumably this is based upon another series, possibly introducing linux-user support? Is the plan to merge the linux-user support first? If so then you should add a Based-on tag to the cover letter referencing the corresponding linux-user patch series. Also: I don't see a URL for a git repo containing the complete patchset which can help making some bits of review easier. ATB, Mark.

I suggest just rewriting the whole thing, possibly with help from someone else more familiar with technical English in your company. You'd want to check your other usages of English throughout the series, too.
