[PATCH] mach-bcm SMC: address clang inline asm incompatibility

[PATCH] mach-bcm SMC: address clang inline asm incompatibility

[Alex Elder]

My GCC-based build environment likes to call register r12 by the
name "ip" in inline asm.  Behan Webster informed me that his Clang-
based build environment likes "r12" instead.

Try to make them both happy.

Two objections, one of which is an acceptable outcome:
1. Why can't clang just learn these alternative names?
2. Why can't we just use "r12" here?

I suggested that.  I don't know where to send that suggestion
though.

I don't recall the details, but when I wrote the code originally
that way it gave me errors.  It's why I had the "Also called r12"
comment next to the symbol declaration.

I agree, I'd rather have either one of those than this #ifdef
workaround.  I was supplying this as a potentially quicker fix
for the problem Behan was hitting.
