[MIPS] Fix asm constraints for 'ins' instructions.
The third operand to 'ins' must be a constant int, not a register. [Ralf: The bug was actually intensional. Some versions used to throw an error under certain circumstances for code like: static inline void f(unsigned nr, unsigned *p) { unsigned short bit = nr & 5; if (__builtin_constant_p(bit)) { __asm__ __volatile__ (" foo %0, %1" : "=m" (*p) : "i" (bit)); } else { /* Do something else. */ } } because gcc was not able to figure out that the "i" constraint was possibly at the early stage when the constraint are getting verified. The solution was using "ri" instead of "i". The "ri" would keep gcc happy but in the end for code generation always the "i" constraint would be satisfied. The problem afair originally appeared in the i386 io.h and also hit it's mips equivalent. From there the workaround spread to many of the inline assembler functions.] Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@avtrex.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
