Re: [PATCH v2] arm: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in uapi headers

But as most other architecture UAPI headers already have switched to
__ASSEMBLER__, it seems nobody will be affected by this, so this check
should be unnecessary.

 It seems to whom?  Have you got a reference to a discussion with libc 
maintainers where the consensus has been that support for older compilers 
can be dropped?  Why does it remain in the GNU C library?

I'm aware that other architectures have transitioned to __ASSEMBLER__.
However, I implemented this check here because Maciej W. Rozycki
specifically suggested this approach during our discussion.

 I asked a question whether this is relevant.  The outcome could well be 
that it is not, but with data available at hand such a conclusion cannot 
be made in my opinion.
