Subject: metag: Fix atomic_*_return inline asm constraints
From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 096a8b6d5e7ab9f8ca3d2474b3ca6a1fe79e0371 upstream.
The argument i of atomic_*_return() operations is given to inline asm
with the "bd" constraint, which means "An Op2 register where Op1 is a
data unit register and the instruction supports O2R", however Op1 is
constrained by "da" which allows an address unit register to be used.
Fix the constraint to use "br", meaning "An Op2 register and the
instruction supports O2R", i.e. not requiring Op1 to be a data unit
register.
