Currently LLVM's integrated assembler does not recognize .w form
of the pld instructions (LLVM Bug 40972 [0]):
./arch/arm/include/asm/processor.h:133:5: error: invalid instruction
"pldw.wt%a0 n"
^
<inline asm>:2:1: note: instantiated into assembly here
pldw.w [r0]
^
1 error generated.
The W macro for generating wide instructions when targeting Thumb-2
is not strictly required for the preload data instructions (pld, pldw)
since they are only available as wide instructions. The GNU assembler
works with or without the .w appended when compiling an Thumb-2 kernel.
Drop the macro to work around LLVM Bug 40972 issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
