Ah, right, manually testing ARCH=arm defconfig with
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL enabled via menuconfig:

Builds and boots for clang.

(Also needed https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200915225751.274531-1-ndesaulniers@google.com/T/#u
for an unrelated issue).

For GCC, I observe:

arch/arm/vfp/vfphw.o: in function `vfp_support_entry':
(.text+0xa): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP19 against
symbol `vfp_kmode_exception' defined in .text.unlikely section in
arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.o

There doesn't seem to be a config option to work around that for now.
Though it's not caused by your series; if I drop your series, I can
still reproduce.

Is there a different config I should be testing rather than
defconfig+manual testing, like one of the existing configs? Looks like
only milbeaut_m10v_defconfig enable THUMB2 by default.  I should add
that to my CI and kernelCI for coverage with clang.

milbeaut_m10v_defconfig
builds with your series for clang.  Looks like that config may be
currently broken for GCC?
Looks like it doesn't boot with Clang, so I'll need to debug that.
Again, both of the two past sentences are regardless of your series.
So your series still LGTM.
