Linux supports both the original ARMv6 level (early ARM1136) and ARMv6K
(later ARM1136, ARM1176 and ARM11mpcore).

ast2500 falls into the second categoy, being based on arm1176jzf-s.
This is enabled by default when using ARCH_MULTI_V6, so we should
not 'select CPU_V6'.

Removing this will lead to more efficient use of atomic instructions.

Wow, nice find.

I can't find any trees with !CC_IS_CLANG here. Is there a problem
building our pinmux driver with Clang?

I tested with this patch:

--- a/arch/arm/mach-aspeed/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/arm/mach-aspeed/Kconfig
@@ -25,8 +25,8 @@ config MACH_ASPEED_G4

 config MACH_ASPEED_G5
        bool "Aspeed SoC 5th Generation"
+       # This implies ARMv6K which covers the ARM1176
        depends on ARCH_MULTI_V6
-       select CPU_V6
        select PINCTRL_ASPEED_G5
        select FTTMR010_TIMER
        help

If you want to apply that as a fix for 5.4 I would be happy with that.

Unrelated, but I'm intrigued by this. Looks like I should try compile it with clang
and fix the fallout.

This was an unrelated change from my local randconfig tree.

Your driver uncovered a bug in clang that is now fixed, the driver
itself is fine, see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43243

Applied to arm/fixes now.
