[PATCH v2 2/2] MIPS: Loongson{2ef,64}: Wrap -mno-branch-likely with cc-option

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Tue Jan 25 2022 - 17:20:24 EST


This flag is not supported by clang, which results in a warning:

clang-14: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-mno-branch-likely' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This breaks cc-option, which adds -Werror to make this warning fatal and
catch flags that are not supported.

Wrap this flag in cc-option so that it does not cause cc-option to fail,
which can cause randconfigs to be really noisy, due to warnings not
getting disabled that should be.

Additionally, move the cc-option check to Kconfig so that the check is
done at configuration time, rather than build time, as builds with no
configuration change will be quicker because the cc-option call will not
need to happen in those instances.

v1 -> v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220120214001.1879469-2-nathan@xxxxxxxxxx/

* Move cc-option call to Kconfig (Nick).
* Also apply to loongson2ef, even though this will not currently build
with clang.
