[ARM] do not consider sp as deprecated for ldm/stm
Early versions of the ARMv7 reference manuals considered the sp register as a deprecated register for ldm/stm familiy of instructions. However, later versions such as ARM DDI 0406C.d added a note to the Appendix: D9.3 Use of the SP as a general-purpose register Most ARM instructions, unlike Thumb instructions, provide exactly the same access to the SP as to R0-R12. This means that it is possible to use the SP as a general-purpose register. Earlier issues of this manual deprecated the use of SP in an ARM instruction, in any way that is deprecated, not permitted, or not possible in the corresponding Thumb instruction. However, user feedback indicates a number of cases where these instructions are useful. Therefore, ARM no longer deprecates these instruction uses. Also Armv8 manuals no longer consider SP as deprecated register for ldm/ stm A32 instructions. Furthermore, GNU as also does not print a deprecated warning when using SP with those instructions. Drop deprecation warning for pop/ldm/push/stm instructions. Patch by: Stefan Agner. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D82692
