From: Masahiro Yamada <masahi...@kernel.org> commit 7e20e47c70f810d678d02941fa3c671209c4ca97 upstream.
The 'AS' variable is unused for building the kernel. Only the remaining usage is to turn on the integrated assembler. A boolean flag is a better fit for this purpose. AS=clang was added for experts. So, I replaced it with LLVM_IAS=1, breaking the backward compatibility.
