As described over there, this happens only with the array-bounds
sanitizer.

Actually, looking at it again now, in the reduced test case, the inline
assembly is not even parsable, it only works because it never gets
emitted without  -fsanitize=array-bounds, and the alternative
code path is used in

#define read_etm4x_sysreg_offset(offset, _64bit)
         \
        ({
         \
                u64 __val;
         \

         \
                if (__builtin_constant_p((offset)))
         \
                        __val =
read_etm4x_sysreg_const_offset((offset));       \
                else
         \
                        __val = etm4x_sysreg_read((offset), true,
(_64bit));    \
                __val;
         \
         })

read_etm4x_sysreg_const_offset() eventually turns into something
like

asm("msr_s " __stringify(offset));

so the offset has to be something that can be parsed by the
assembler. __builtin_constant_p() checks that it is a constant
value at compile-time, and in this case it can be because there
is a small upper bound and clang just unrolls the loop.

I don't think there is an alternative to __builtin_constant_p()
that can be used to decide if the argument is something that
can be used as a constant expression in an inline assembly.
