We can see the "ROM Size" is different in the following outputs:
[root@linux loongson]# cat /sys/firmware/loongson/boardinfo
BIOS Information
Vendor : Loongson
Version : vUDK2018-LoongArch-V2.0.pre-beta8
ROM Size : 63 KB
Release Date : 06/15/2022
Board Information
Manufacturer : Loongson
Board Name : Loongson-LS3A5000-7A1000-1w-A2101
Family : LOONGSON64
[root@linux loongson]# dmidecode | head -11
...
Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 26 bytes
BIOS Information
Vendor: Loongson
Version: vUDK2018-LoongArch-V2.0.pre-beta8
Release Date: 06/15/2022
ROM Size: 4 MB
According to "BIOS Information (Type 0) structure" in the SMBIOS
Reference Specification [1], it shows 64K * (n+1) is the size of
the physical device containing the BIOS if the size is less than
16M.
Additionally, we can see the related code in dmidecode [2]:
u64 s = { .l = (code1 + 1) << 6 };
So the output of dmidecode is correct, the output of boardinfo
is wrong, fix it.
By the way, at present no need to consider the size is 16M or
greater on LoongArch, because it is usually 4M or 8M which is
enough to use.

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.
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.
