[PATCH 2/6] compiler.h: Introduce TYPEOF_UNQUAL() macro

From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Tue Nov 26 2024 - 12:25:35 EST


Define TYPEOF_UNQUAL() to use __typeof_unqual__() as typeof operator
when available, to return unqualified type of the expression.

Current version of sparse doesn't know anything about __typeof_unqual__()
operator. Avoid the usage of __typeof_unqual__() when sparse checking
is active to prevent sparse errors with unknowing keyword.
