Re: [PATCH V4 23/23] crypto: hisilicon/qm: Workaround to enable build with RISC-V clang

Hey Sunil,

This one made me scratch my head for a bit..

There's actually nothing RISC-V specific about that behaviour, that's
just how clang works. Quoting Nathan:
"Clang performs semantic analysis (i.e., validates assembly) before
dead code elimination, so IS_ENABLED() is not sufficient for avoiding
that error."

So I think this statement is just not true, it can remove dead code, but
only after it has done the semantic analysis.

The reason that this has not been seen before, again quoting Nathan, is:
"arm64 and x86_64 both support the Q constraint, we cannot build
LoongArch yet (although it does not have support for Q either so same
boat as RISC-V), and ia64 is dead/unsupported in LLVM. Those are the
only architectures that support ACPI, so I guess that explains why we
have seen no issues aside from RISC-V so far."

I don't think there's much else you can do!

Perhaps it is also worth adding:
