Just rechecked this with a friend from Lemote, in reality, the
revision id of Loongson-2F is 0x3, so, my old code should be a
reference for you:

arch/mips/loongson/common/platform.c

PRID_REV_LOONGSON2F and PRID_REV_LOONGSON2E has already been defined
in arch/mips/include/asm/cpu.h

So, the manual is buggy, perhaps the editors of the manuals did copy
and paste for I have found the title of the 2F manual is the same as
the 2E manual ;-)
