Re: [PATCH 3 03/16] MIPS: Improve WARN for $0 constraint on MIPSR6 branches
Maciej W. Rozycki states that a proposed change to improve warnings for the $0 constraint on MIPS R6 branches is invalid. He points out that the source file was already added and renamed in previous commits, the commit heading is inaccurate, and the change is missing test invocation in mips.exp. The issues collectively render the patch unusable in its current form.
