commit 9988f4d577f42f43b7612d755477585f35424af7 upstream.

This fixes build errors seen on gcc-4.9.3 or gcc-5.3.1 for an ARM:

arm-soc/init/initramfs.c: In function 'error':
arm-soc/init/initramfs.c:50:1: error: unrecognizable insn:
}
^
(insn 26 25 27 5 (set (reg:SI 111 [ local_entropy.243 ])

        (rotatert:SI (reg:SI 116 [ local_entropy.243 ])
            (const_int -30 [0xffffffffffffffe2]))) -1
     (nil))
