Alas there are multiple configs specific to our chip. So the MIPS
generic sub-module won't workout our needs at the current state. I'll
have a better look at it when time comes (whether it's possible to fix
it up somehow) but meanwhile it's better to retain the MIPS_BAIKAL_T1
config in the drivers.
