When building mips tinyconfig with clang the following warning show up:

Rework to make an explicit inline move, instead of the non-standard use
of specifying registers for local variables. This is what's written
from the gcc-10 manual [1] about specifying registers for local
variables:

"6.47.5.2 Specifying Registers for Local Variables
.................................................
[...]

"The only supported use for this feature is to specify registers for
input and output operands when calling Extended 'asm' (*note Extended
Asm::).  [...]".

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
