[PATCH] [GAS, ARM] Invalid LDR immediate transformation

"Load immediate values using LDR Rd, =const" as described in
<http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0473l/dom1359731147386.html>
is currently broken.
The symptom appears with the following fragment that transforms a
'ldr' into a 'cmp':
$ cat weird-a53.s
.syntax unified
.thumb
.text
.align 2
.global foo
.thumb_func
.type foo, %function
foo:
ldr r12, =#0x99
$ arm-none-eabi-as weird-a53.s
$ arm-none-eabi-objdump -t
(snip)
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <foo>:
0: 2c99 cmp r4, #153 ; 0x99
2: 46c0 nop ; (mov r8, r8)
It was originally reported by an internal user on cortex-a53 in
AArch32, but the issue is unrelated to a specific target and shows up
for any architecture supporting this transformation, eg from armv6t2.
The issue happens because a T1 encoding is used with a high register,
and the bits of the register number leak into the opcode, leading to
the transformation into a compare.
It looks like this is exposed in binutils trunk since the changes for
this <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18500> have been
merged into the trunk.
I have attached a patch, tested on an x86_64 host in arm-none-eabi
arm-linux-eabi arm-nacl, no regression.
Waiting for any feedback, thanks.

gas/ChangeLog:
2015-11-23 Christophe Monat <christophe.monat@st.com>
* config/tc-arm.c (move_or_literal_pool): Do not transform ldr
ri,=imm into movs when ri is a high register in T1.
gas/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-11-23 Christophe Monat <christophe.monat@st.com>

tests.
* gas/arm/thumb2_ldr_immediate_armv6t2.d: Accounted for new test
cases.
* gas/arm/thumb2_ldr_immediate_highregs_armv6t2.s: New.
* gas/arm/thumb2_ldr_immediate_highregs_armv6t2.d: New.
