As commit 5ef872636ca7 ("kbuild: get rid of misleading $(AS) from documents") noted, we rarely use $(AS) directly in the kernel build. Now that the only/last user of $(AS) in drivers/net/wan/Makefile was converted to $(CC), $(AS) is no longer used in the build process. You can still pass in AS=clang, which is just a switch to turn on the LLVM integrated assembler.
