[RFC patch] MIPS: select correct tc

[Hillf Danton]

If we could find tc on the tc list for @index, the found tc should be returned.

Please, when posting MIPS patches ALWAYS include linux-mips@linux-mips.org
so patchwork can snarf up the patches.  Without that there is a significant
chance that I'm going to miss patches.

Thanks!

This bug has been in the VPE code since 2009 and it pretty much proofs
that nobody is using this crap.

I've applied your patch but your finding of this bug which is around since
about two years pretty much proofs that nobody is using this code, so it
can be removed.  It's been fugly since day one..

Thanks,

  Ralf
