The upstream commit dc356bf3c173 ("sparc: Drop the "-ansi" from the asflags") is
a prerequisite to d6fb6511de74 ("sparc: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__
in uapi headers") that here is planned to be picked up to stable branches. If
this prerequisite is not picked up first the kernel will not compile [1].
