Re: [PATCH v2] hexagon: Disable constant extender optimization for LLVM prior to 19.1.0

Hi Linus,

Could you apply this change [1] directly? Brian has reviewed it and I have
sent this patch twice plus another ping for application [2]. I would
like to stop applying this in our CI and some other people have hit it
as well.

Cheers,
Nathan
