Testing has shown, that when using mainline U-Boot on MT7688 based boards, the system may hang or crash while mounting the root-fs. The main issue here is that mainline U-Boot configures EBase to a value near the end of system memory. And with CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2_IRQ_VI disabled, trap_init() will not allocate a new area to place the exception handler. The original value will be used and the handler will be copied to this location, which might already be used by some userspace application. The MT7688 supports VI - its config3 register is 0x00002420, so VInt (Bit 5) is set. But without setting CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2_IRQ_VI this bit will not be evaluated to result in "cpu_has_vi" being set. This patch now selects CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2_IRQ_VI on MT7620/8 which results trap_init() to allocate some memory for the exception handler. Please note that this issue was not seen with the Mediatek U-Boot version, as it does not touch EBase (stays at default of 0x8000.0000). This is strictly also not correct as the kernel (_text) resides here.
