PATCH v2 1/2 MIPS: Loongson64: Clean up use of cc-ifversion

This Makefile checks that GCC is 4.9 or newer, which is redundant after commit 76ae847497bc ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1"), so cc-option can be removed.

Clang does not support -march=loongson3a so it needs to continue to use -march=mips64r2, which no longer needs cc-option because all supported clang versions recognize this flag.

-march=loonson3a can be used unconditionally with GCC because the minimum supported GCC version has been bumped past 4.9.0, which won't have the bug mentioned in the comment. The _MIPS_ISA macro redefinition can be removed at the same time for the same reason.

---

v1 -> v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]/

* Eliminate ld-option call (Jiaxun).
* Eliminate _MIPS_ISA macro redefinitions (Nick).

PATCH v2 2/2 MIPS: Loongson{2ef,64}: Wrap -mno-branch-likely with cc-option

This flag is not supported by clang, which results in a warning:

clang-14: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-mno-branch-likely' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This breaks cc-option, which adds -Werror to make this warning fatal and catch flags that are not supported.

Wrap this flag in cc-option so that it does not cause cc-option to fail, which can cause randconfigs to be really noisy, due to warnings not getting disabled that should be.

Additionally, move the cc-option check to Kconfig so that the check is done at configuration time, rather than build time, as builds with no configuration change will be quicker because the cc-option call will not need to happen in those instances.

---

v1 -> v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]/

* Move cc-option call to Kconfig (Nick).
* Also apply to loongson2ef, even though this will not currently build with clang.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea.                                                [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
