Can anyone answer this question regarding the difference between "bsr" and "jsr":

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60354#issuecomment-1412018845

"jsr" is an absolute jump to a subroutine.
"bsr" is a relative jump (8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit signed offset) to a
subroutine,
i.e. typically for calling a nearby function.

jsr/jmp also take pcrel, but bsr/bra with 8-bit disp is shorter.
