commit 418ace9992 upstream.
Naresh and Antonio ran into a build failure with latest Debian
armhf compilers, with lots of output like
tmp/ccY3nOAs.s:2215: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode
As it turns out, $(cc-option) fails early here when the FPU is not
selected before CPU architecture is selected, as the compiler
option check runs before enabling -msoft-float, which causes
a problem when testing a target architecture level without an FPU:
cc1: error: '-mfloat-abi=hard': selected architecture lacks an FPU
Passing e.g. -march=armv6k+fp in place of -march=armv6k would avoid this
issue, but the fallback logic is already broken because all supported
compilers (gcc-5 and higher) are much more recent than these options,
and building with -march=armv5t as a fallback no longer works.
The best way forward that I see is to just remove all the checks, which
also has the nice side-effect of slightly improving the startup time for
'make'.
The -mtune=marvell-f option was apparently never supported by any mainline
compiler, and the custom Codesourcery gcc build that did support is
now too old to build kernels, so just use -mtune=xscale unconditionally
for those.
This should be safe to apply on all stable kernels, and will be required
in order to keep building them with gcc-11 and higher.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
