[PATCH v2] ARM: error out if compiling ARMv6 using Clang before 8.0

[PATCH v2] ARM: error out if compiling ARMv6 using Clang before 8.0

[Stefan Agner]

The kernel passes the ArmV6K architecture to the compiler when
using the multi platform selection and enabling ARMv6. Clang
older than version 8.0 emit assembly with an non-existing CPU,
which then makes the GNU assembler fail. Warn users when
compiling ARMv6 using Clang before 8.0.
