[PATCH] LoongArch: Use a fallback CPU model when IOCSR-based model probing fails

[PATCH] LoongArch: Use a fallback CPU model when IOCSR-based model probing fails

[Yao Zi]

Reading vendor and cpuname IOCSRs yields 0x258000fff00 instead of
human-readable model strings on Loongson 2K0300 SoC, which messes up
format of /proc/cpuinfo since it represents as an empty string.

Let's consider IOCSR-based model probing fails if the result model is an
empty string. A fallback model name is set in such cases.

CPUNAME IOCSR is filled by firmware and readed by kernel. If you read
some garbage, that means you need to modify your firmware.

And if there is completely no CPUNAME register, you need to fill it by
FDT, see init_cpu_fullname() in arch/loongarch/kernel/env.c.

Thanks for the hint, I'll take a look in my firmware instead.
