Hi Richard,

This is the updated patch according to your suggestions. I removed the
peephole2 patterns and introduced function thumb1_reorg to rewrite
instructions in md_reorg pass.

In addition to missed propagation, this patch also detects following case:
      mov r5, r0
      str r0, [r4]   <-------miscellaneous irrelevant instructions
      [cmp r0, 0]    <-------saved
      bne  .Lxxx

Patch tested on arm-none-eabi/cortex-m0, no regressions introduced.

Is it OK?

Thanks.

	* config/arm/arm.c (thumb1_reorg): New function.
	(arm_reorg): Call thumb1_reorg.
	(thumb1_final_prescan_insn): Record src operand in thumb1_cc_op0.
	* config/arm/arm.md : Remove peephole2 patterns which rewrites move
	into subtract of ZERO.
