[PATCH v2] mips: lib: uncached: fix non-standard usage of variable 'sp'

From: Anders Roxell
Date: Fri Dec 11 2020 - 05:26:54 EST


When building mips tinyconfig with clang the following warning show up:

arch/mips/lib/uncached.c:45:6: warning: variable 'sp' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
if (sp >= (long)CKSEG0 && sp < (long)CKSEG2)
^~
arch/mips/lib/uncached.c:40:18: note: initialize the variable 'sp' to silence this warning
register long sp __asm__("$sp");
^
= 0
1 warning generated.

Rework to make an explicit inline move, instead of the non-standard use
of specifying registers for local variables. This is what's written
from the gcc-10 manual [1] about specifying registers for local
variables:

"6.47.5.2 Specifying Registers for Local Variables
.................................................
[...]

"The only supported use for this feature is to specify registers for
input and output operands when calling Extended 'asm' (*note Extended
Asm::). [...]".
