The GNU assembler has implemented the "unified syntax" parsing since 2005. This "unified" syntax is required when the kernel is built in Thumb2 mode. However the "unified" syntax is a mixed bag of features, including not requiring a `#' prefix with immediate operands. This leads to situations where some code builds just fine in Thumb2 mode and fails to build in ARM mode if that prefix is missing. This behavior discrepancy makes build tests less valuable, forcing both ARM and Thumb2 builds for proper coverage. Let's "fix" this issue by always using the "unified" syntax for both ARM and Thumb2 mode. Given that the documented minimum binutils version that properly builds the kernel is version 2.20 released in 2010, we can assume that any toolchain capable of building the latest kernel is also "unified syntax" capable. Whith this, a bunch of macros used to mask some differences between both syntaxes can be removed, with the side effect of making LTO easier.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
