I don't think gcc or llvm do anything with vscr, but they do allow it to be marked as a clobber. This prevents needing to enumerate it as a preserved flag if an update does make use of it.
ELFv2 defines this as a "limited-access" register. This means the VSCR[SAT] bit is clobbered by a function call.
