Originally in patche6d20c55a4("openrisc: entry: Fix delay slot detection") I fixed delay slot detection, but only for QEMU. We missed that hardware delay slot detection using delay slot exception flag (DSX) was still broken. This was because QEMU set the DSX flag in both pre-exception supervision register (ESR) and supervision register (SR) register, but on real hardware the DSX flag is only set on the SR register during exceptions. Fix this by carrying the DSX flag into the SR register during exception. We also update the DSX flag read locations to read the value from the SR register not the pt_regs SR register which represents ESR. The ESR should never have the DSX flag set. In the process I updated/removed a few comments to match the current state. Including removing a comment saying that the DSX detection logic was inefficient and needed to be rewritten. I have tested this on QEMU with a patch ensuring it matches the hardware specification.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
