We must tell GCC to use even register for variable passed to ldrd
instruction. Without this patch GCC 4.2.1 puts this variable to r2/r3 on
EABI and r3/r4 on OABI, so force it to r2/r3. This does not change
anything when EABI and OABI compilation works OK.
Without this patch and with OABI I get:
CC drivers/mtd/nand/orion_nand.o
/tmp/ccMkwOCs.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccMkwOCs.s:63: Error: first destination register must be even -- `ldrd r3,[ip]'
