If I build ARM linux with Clang,
I see the following error.



arch/arm/firmware/trusted_foundations.c:34:13: error: variable has

__naked is defined in <linux/compiler-gcc.h>


It was previous included by all compilers,
but now it is only by _true_ GCC.


Even if I move the __naked definition
to <linux/compiler_types.h>,
I see a different error.



arch/arm/firmware/trusted_foundations.c:47:10: error: parameter

#define __naked         __attribute__((naked))
                                       ^



I do not know what a correct fix is.
