From 9ef282cd9695f13f88a2a563fcfd6164b4d7ca18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Crispin Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2016 10:25:16 +0000 Subject: arc770: enable unaligned access handling simulation in software This enables misaligned access handling by software in Linux kernel. With some wireless drivers (ath9k-htc and mt7601u for example) we see misaligned accesses here and there and to cope with that without fixing stuff in the drivers we're just gracefully handling it on ARC.
