powerpc/dcr: Use cmplwi instead of 3-argument cmpli
In dcr-low.S we use cmpli with three arguments, instead of four arguments as defined in the ISA: cmpli cr0,r3,1024 This appears to be a PPC440-ism, looking at the "PPC440x5 CPU Core User’s Manual" it shows cmpli having no L field, but implied to be 0 due to the core being 32-bit. It mentions that the ISA defines four arguments and recommends using cmplwi. It also corresponds to the old POWER instruction set, which had no L field there, a reserved bit instead. dcr-low.S is only built 32-bit, because it is only built when DCR_NATIVE=y, which is only selected by 40x and 44x. Looking at the generated code (with gcc/gas) we see cmplwi as expected. Although gas is happy with the 3-argument version when building for 32-bit, the LLVM assembler is not and errors out with: arch/powerpc/sysdev/dcr-low.S:27:10: error: invalid operand for instruction cmpli 0,%r3,1024; ... ^ Switch to the cmplwi extended opcode, which avoids any confusion when reading the ISA, fixes the issue with the LLVM assembler, and also means the code could be built 64-bit in future (though that's very unlikely).
