commit 6f33d58794ef ("__UNIQUE_ID()")
added a fallback definition of __UNIQUE_ID because gcc 4.2 and older did
not support __COUNTER__.
Also, this commit is effectively a revert of
commit b41c29b0527c ("Kbuild: provide a __UNIQUE_ID for clang")
which mentions clang 2.6+ supporting __COUNTER__.
Documentation/process/changes.rst currently lists the minimum supported
version of these compilers as:
- gcc: 5.1
- clang: 11.0.0
It should be safe to say that __COUNTER__ is well supported by this
point.
