[ Upstream commit fef071be57dc43679a32d5b0e6ee176d6f12e9f2 ]
In dcr-low.S we use cmpli with three arguments, instead of four
arguments as defined in the ISA:
cmpli cr0,r3,1024
This appears to be a PPC440-ism, looking at the "PPC440x5 CPU Core
User’s Manual" it shows cmpli having no L field, but implied to be 0 due
to the core being 32-bit. It mentions that the ISA defines four
arguments and recommends using cmplwi.
It also corresponds to the old POWER instruction set, which had no L
field there, a reserved bit instead.
dcr-low.S is only built 32-bit, because it is only built when
DCR_NATIVE=y, which is only selected by 40x and 44x. Looking at the
generated code (with gcc/gas) we see cmplwi as expected.
Although gas is happy with the 3-argument version when building for
32-bit, the LLVM assembler is not and errors out with:
arch/powerpc/sysdev/dcr-low.S:27:10: error: invalid operand for instruction
cmpli 0,%r3,1024; ...
^
Switch to the cmplwi extended opcode, which avoids any confusion when
reading the ISA, fixes the issue with the LLVM assembler, and also means
the code could be built 64-bit in future (though that's very unlikely).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
