[PATCH 2/4] bfd: pe: Drop MIPS pdata table entry handling from pe_print_pdata
This patch removes the MIPS-specific handling logic from the pe_print_pdata function in bfd/peXXigen.c. PE MIPS support was removed from binutils in version 2.31 (2018), making this code obsolete. The change cleans up the codebase by eliminating dead code related to a no-longer-supported architecture.
