Remove the -mno-warn-deprecated assembler flag for GCC versions newer
than 5.1 to make sure the GNU assembler warns in case non-unified
syntax is used.
This also prevents a warning when building with Clang and enabling
its integrated assembler:
clang-10: error: unsupported argument '-mno-warn-deprecated' to option 'Wa,'
This is a second attempt of commit e8c24bbda7d5 ("ARM: 8846/1: warn if
divided syntax assembler is used").

Hi Stefan, sorry for the late reply from me; digging out my backlog.
Do you happen to have a godbolt link perhaps that demonstrates this?
It sounds like GCC itself is emitting pre-UAL?

Would it be helpful to also make note of
commit b752bb405a13 ("Revert "ARM: 8846/1: warn if divided syntax
assembler is used"")?

This existing code is quite bad for Clang, which doesn't support
`-Wa,-mno-warn-deprecated`, so this falls back to `-Wa,-W`, which
disables all warnings from the assembler, which we definitely do not
want. That alone is worth putting in the GCC guard. But I would like
more info about GCC above before signing off.

Yes, that is what Russell observed and caused the revert:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b752bb405a13
I do not have a godbolt link at hand, I just built the complete kernel
using some GCC toolchains I had locally available and noticed that the
problem persists up to and including GCC 5.0. I did not track down what
exactly is causing GCC to emit pre-UAL.

Sure, I can do that.

FWIW, I submitted this to the patch tracker already, but I don't think
it got merged already.

Godbolt link:
https://godbolt.org/z/fxYq_s
However, the warning does not appear on godbolt.org, presumably because
the compiler is started such that it does not invoke the assembler (at
least that is what I understand when using -v). However, on my end this
leads to:
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -marm -march=armv7-a -O2 -c test.c -o test
--save-temps
test.s: Assembler messages:
test.s:33: Warning: conditional infixes are deprecated in unified syntax
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Linaro GCC 4.9-2016.02) 4.9.4 20151028
(prerelease)
And line 33 contains a non-unified assembler mnemonic:
strneb r2, [r3]
Note: I do have to explicitly use .syntax unified. It seems that gcc is
not explicitly doing this, but if any inline assembly is changing the
assembler mode (e.g. what including arch/arm/include/asm/unified.h is
doing) then the assembler warnings start to appear.
