gcc 7.5.0 on s390 barfs; it doesn't like the use of "__func__" with "%0-."

drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/analogix/analogix-i2c-dptx.c: In function 'anx_dp_aux_transfer':
././include/linux/compiler_types.h:492:20: warning: asm operand 0 probably doesn't match constraints

I was unable to find an alternate constraint that the compiler would accept.

I don't know if the same problem is seen with older compilers on other architectures,
or if the problem is relevant in the first place.

gcc 10.3.0 and later do not have this problem. I also tried s390 builds with gcc 9.4
and 9.5 but they both crash for unrelated reasons.

If this is a concern, the best idea I have is to make KUNIT_SUPPRESS_BACKTRACE
depend on, say,
depends on CC_IS_CLANG || (CC_IS_GCC && GCC_VERSION >= 100300)

A more complex solution might be to define an architecture flag such
as HAVE_SUPPRESS_BACKTRACE, make that conditional on the gcc version
for s390 only, and make KUNIT_SUPPRESS_BACKTRACE depend on it.
