Subject: [PATCH] ARM: pass -msoft-float to gcc earlier
Date:   Wed, 20 May 2020 00:08:55 +0200

Szabolcs Nagy ran into a kernel build failure with a custom gcc
toochain that sets -mfpu=auto -mfloat-abi=hard:

 /tmp/ccmNdcdf.s:1898: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode

The problem is that $(call cc-option, -march=armv7-a) fails before the
kernel overrides the gcc options to also pass -msoft-float.

Move the option to the beginning the Makefile, before we call
cc-option for the first time.
