Liam Beguin b344d6a83d parisc: add support for cmpxchg on u8 pointers
The kernel test bot reported[1] that using set_mask_bits on a u8 causes
the following issue on parisc:

	hppa-linux-ld: drivers/phy/ti/phy-tusb1210.o: in function `tusb1210_probe':
	>> (.text+0x2f4): undefined reference to `__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer'
	>> hppa-linux-ld: (.text+0x324): undefined reference to `__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer'
	hppa-linux-ld: (.text+0x354): undefined reference to `__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer'

Add support for cmpxchg on u8 pointers.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
