I didn't check for the functions in question here, but in general your
statement is wrong.

For example:

static inline unsigned int __attribute_const__ read_cpuid_id(void)
{
	return readl(BASEADDR_V7M_SCB + V7M_SCB_CPUID);
}

from arch/arm/include/asm/cputype.h. The V7M_SCB_CPUID register never
changes, but there is no way gcc can deduce that.

Best regards
Uwe
