Interesting, that was hard to foresee in review of 1d2e9b67b001 and
59e2cf8d21e0.
FWIW, their non-hf target does not.
$ echo | arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -dM -E - | grep __thumb

Thanks Nathan and Ard.
I ran the following tests:
1. build w/ llvm stock config CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y kernel.
2. build w/ llvm+debian's OOT patch
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/llvm-toolchain/-/raw/622dbcbd40b316ed3905a2d25d9623544a06e6b1/debian/patches/930008-arm.diff
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y kernel.
3. check that -U<foo> removes <foo> from being set by preprocessor for
both debian's arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc and clang -mthumb
$ echo | arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -dM -E - | grep __thumb
#define __thumb2__ 1
#define __thumb__ 1
$ echo | arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -dM -E - -U__thumb2__ | grep __thumb
#define __thumb__ 1
$ echo | clang --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf -mthumb -dM -E -
-mcpu=cortex-a7 | grep __thumb
#define __thumb2__ 1
#define __thumb__ 1
$ echo | clang --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf -mthumb -dM -E -
-mcpu=cortex-a7 -U__thumb2__ | grep __thumb
#define __thumb__ 1
