Thanks for the patch! This is something definitely useful to have
implemented with Clang. Some initial thoughts below:

It looks like sv_fp and sv_pc have the same values for both GCC and
Clang, maybe they don't need to be moved here?

So GCC has an offset while Clang has sv_lr.

Not having a preprocessor guard here makes it seem like GCC will
always have to move the additional register, even if it's not using
it?

I'd only use `#if defined(foo)` if there were 2 or more things I
needed to check: `#if defined(foo) || defined(bar)`.

These two sections seem to differ between GCC and Clang only for the
offsets. Could these be made into preprocessor defines and more code
shared?

Use either /* c89 comments */ or @arm assembler comments.

Do we need an explicit branch to this label? Wouldn't we just fall

Probably don't need to duplicate the above (up to ENDPROC), but the
below hunk looks compiler specific.

More work for GCC...

It would be nice to put comments on the end of these #endif's what
condition they're terminating:
#endif /* CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG
#endif /* !defined(CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER) || !defined(CONFIG_PRINTK) */
Maybe also the #else's above.
Will send more thoughts tomorrow/throughout the week.
