this patch is in next as 51ac91b7f6b11b0da55ac93885ee7b864865bcb1 and
breaks efm32_defconfig. The exact error message is:

  AS      arch/arm/kernel/sleep.o
arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S:121: Error: selected processor does not support ARM opcodes
arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S:123: Error: bad instruction `badr r9,1f'
arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S:124: Error: attempt to use an ARM instruction on a Thumb-only processor -- `bx r9'
scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target 'arch/arm/kernel/sleep.o' failed
make[3]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/sleep.o] Error 1

Best regards
Uwe
