Building usb for Blackfin boards fails as we get linux/compiler.h
included which expands the "noinline" inside of the attribute and
we get attribute(attribute(noinline)).

Explicitly use the helper define to avoid this.

Ain't compiler.h broken then? Btw. is this a fix I should push to .04 release?

no ... why would it be ?

i looked closer at how exactly it's failing, and i think waiting for the next 
merge window is OK if you want

Because it colides with gcc stuff?

I'm fine either way as I don't observe this. On the other hand, I'd be inclined 
to push this into current release if you're 100% sure about the fix and it fixes 
real issue for some people.

it provides shortcuts so you don't have to go grubbing into __attribute__ 
syntax, and it does so in a way that supports multiple gcc versions and 
compilers (although the latter isn't generally a realistic use case for us).

if you really want to be pedantic, you should be using:
	__attribute__((__noinline__))
instead of:
	__attribute__((noinline))

in general, i wouldn't mind seeing common.h including linux/compiler.h and 
just having everyone use these shortcuts instead of open coding the attribute.  
i'm sure that would break more code (like this common/usb.c) in the short 
term, but it'd be much nicer imo long term.

U-Boot/LLVM or U-Boot/VC ? ;-)

We'll have to support LLVM eventually anyway.

Ok, will queue this for -next then.

true ... people want to use llvm/clang for some reason (who cares about code 
generation!?).  linux/compiler.h will make that much easier for us.
