GNU ARM Embedded Tools 6 update 2 release
[ARM] Fix expansion of ldr pseudo instruction
The LDR rX, =cst pseudo-instruction suffers from two issues for loading
integer constants in Thumb mode:
- movs is used if the constant and register can be encoded using that
instruction which leads to unexpected behavior due to its flag-setting
behavior
- mov.w, movw and mvn are used for r13 (sp) and r15 (pc) but these
encoding are marked as UNPREDICTABLE
This patch fixes those issues and update testing accordingly.

* config/tc-arm.c (move_or_literal_pool): Remove code generating MOVS.
Forbid MOV.W and MOVW if destination is SP or PC.
* testsuite/gas/arm/thumb2_ldr_immediate_highregs_armv6t2.s: Explain
expectation of LDR not generating a MOVS for low registers and small
constants. Add tests of MOVW generation.
* testsuite/gas/arm/thumb2_ldr_immediate_highregs_armv6t2.d: Update
expected disassembly.
