Of course this is wrong. There are definitely #include's of this file,
so it is definitely used.
Here's my take: "The content of loongarch's compiler.h is trivial, with
some unused anywhere, so inline the definitions and remove the header."

I surveyed all the existing arch compiler.h in the tree:
$ find ./arch -name compiler.h
./arch/alpha/include/asm/compiler.h
./arch/alpha/include/uapi/asm/compiler.h
./arch/arm/include/asm/compiler.h
./arch/arm64/include/asm/compiler.h
./arch/mips/include/asm/compiler.h
./arch/loongarch/include/asm/compiler.h
Of all these occurrences:
- alpha needs to ensure a certain insn is being emitted from time to
time, with plain C constructs (or built-ins) on compiler versions with
said support, falling back to inline asm otherwise;
- arm and arm64 both need some inline assembly help (of different sort),
with arm64 stuffing some pointer authentication helpers into this file too;
- mips, which is obviously what the loongarch version is based on, needs
(1) a kludge for older compilers to fix delay slot filling around
__builtin_unreachable, (2) definitions for explicit arch level
selection. There is also the historical GCC_OFF_SMALL_ASM() constraint
definition that was rendered redundant by commit 4abaacc704729 ("MIPS:
remove GCC < 4.9 support").
For loongarch, the "ZC" constraint (I don't think it was a coincidence
BTW) should be usable for all present and future hardware, so I do think
the GCC_OFF_SMALL_ASM() here is redundant. We may want to remove the
mips one too. And the arch level thing is not currently needed either,
future revisions to the LoongArch ISA should be largely backwards
compatible, so it could be a long time before such explicit selection of
arch level is necessary, for exact control over emitted insn.
So overall, I'm in favor of removing this header for now.

I assume you mean the proposal being discussed at [1] [2] and [3].
For new reloc types that affect module loading, asm/elf.h and
kernel/module.c need modification to add awareness, but this doesn't
involve compiler.h. The kernel image itself is not affected.
There is also the case of building LoongArch kernel sources without
support for the new reloc types, but on a newer compiler that emits the
new-style reloc records by default. In this case, a switch reverting the
compiler to the old-style relocs is needed in CFLAGS, but (1) not all
essential support are merged for LoongArch so practically we don't need
to care about non-kernel-ABI compatibility at this time, and (2) CFLAGS
tweaks don't involve compiler.h either.
