[PATCH] MTD: Fix Orion NAND driver compilation with ARM OABI

From: Paulius Zaleckas
Date: Sat Mar 20 2010 - 04:55:38 EST


We must tell GCC to use even register for variable passed
to ldrd instruction. Without this patch GCC 4.2.1 puts this
variable to r2/r3 on EABI and r3/r4 on OABI, so force it to
r2/r3. This does not change anything when EABI and OABI
compilation works OK.

Without this patch and with OABI I get:
CC drivers/mtd/nand/orion_nand.o
/tmp/ccMkwOCs.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccMkwOCs.s:63: Error: first destination register must be even -- `ldrd r3,[ip]'
make[5]: *** [drivers/mtd/nand/orion_nand.o] Error 1
