Hi Russell,

When running my randconfig build tests, I noticed that I had a build
failure at arch/arm/kernel/patch.c

KCONFIG_SEED=0x26B77624
arch/arm/kernel/patch.c: In function ‘__patch_text’:
arch/arm/kernel/patch.c:35:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘__opcode_to_mem_thumb32’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    insn = __opcode_to_mem_thumb32(insn);
    ^
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/patch.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Looking at the definition of __opcode_to_mem_thumb32 it's easy to see
that it's not defined when ! CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 and that's exactly
what I have in my generated defconfig (attached).

Would below patch be the correct fix for this ?

diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/opcodes.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/opcodes.h

if it is, I can send it as a formal patch and/or add it to your patch
tracking system. Otherwise, let me know what would be the best fix and
I'll either fix or build-test a patch from you, whatever works best.

cheers
