Hi,

Can we please backport a6416f57ce57fb390b "ARC: use ASL assembler mnemonic". Newer binutils don't like ASL instruction and fail to build kernels prior to v4.4 which added this fix.

Thx,
-Vineet

I have a backport in 3.12. There was a conflict in comments. Could you try that?

ARC: use ASL assembler mnemonic

commit a6416f57ce57fb390b6ee30b12c01c29032a26af upstream.

ARCompact and ARCv2 only have ASL, while binutils used to support LSL as a alias mnemonic.

Newer binutils (upstream) don't want to do that so replace it.

Looks like it's there already. Isn't it?
