[U-Boot] Is it necessary that uboot(mips) should read status register($12) before setting it

Hi Bruce,

Congratulations.  Although I'm not sure what I'm congratulating on ;)

I'm sorry, but I don;t know what to make of this. Can you tell us if
this code is from U-Boot and if so, in which file?  Also can't you try
for yourself if U-Boot still works after removing this instruction?

What exactly do you want us to tell you?

Cheers
  Detlev
