[PATCH 4.19 32/37] kbuild: replace AS=clang with LLVM_IAS=1
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Sep 25 2020 - 08:55:39 EST
From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7e20e47c70f810d678d02941fa3c671209c4ca97 upstream.
The 'AS' variable is unused for building the kernel. Only the remaining
usage is to turn on the integrated assembler. A boolean flag is a better
fit for this purpose.
AS=clang was added for experts. So, I replaced it with LLVM_IAS=1,
breaking the backward compatibility.
