Possible fix

FYI, I think this has been caused by r227385, see how `<optab>_internal'
is used by `mips_expand_epilogue':

              /* simple_returns cannot rely on values that are only available
                 on paths through the epilogue (because return paths that do
                 not pass through the epilogue may nevertheless reuse a
                 simple_return that occurs at the end of the epilogue).
                 Use a normal return here instead.  */
              rtx reg = gen_rtx_REG (Pmode, GP_REG_FIRST + 7);
              pat = gen_return_internal (reg);

and what looks like an inadvertent addition of:

    operands[0] = gen_rtx_REG (Pmode, RETURN_ADDR_REGNUM);

there:

Patch attached may fix it, untested.
