Hmmm. This code is guaranteed to only execute on Tegra (well, perhaps
someone can turn on the wrong debug option and run it on non-Tegra, but
then it's guaranteed not to work since the HW it touches doesn't exist).
As such, the code ought to be able to use ARMv7 instructions.
As a fix for similar issues in assembly code in arch/arm/mach-tegra/*.S,
Makefile there does:
asflags-y += -march=armv7-a
(I think you added that? Yes, in 408e713545ca "ARM: tegra: build
assembly files with -march=armv7-a")
Shouldn't we use the same fix in this case too?
