[PATCH 1/3] ARM: pass -march=armv7-a when building NEON files with clang

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Feb 08 2016 - 09:27:31 EST


clang ignores the -mfpu=neon flag when building with -march=armv6:

In file included from lib/raid6/neon1.c:27:
clang/3.8.0/include/arm_neon.h:28:2: error: "NEON support not enabled"

There is no real need to build the file with -march=armv6 in a
multi-CPU enabled kernel, as nothing in here will ever get called
on an ARMv6 CPU. Adding -march=armv7 doesn't hurt and can only
improve the code quality.
