Hi,
As currently coded, the native detection of the fp16 architecture extension
from the ARMv8.2-A extensions looks for the string "fp16", but the kernel
exposes support of these features through two strings "fphp, for scalar
16-bit floating point support, and "asimdhp" for vector 16-bit floating-point
support [1].
This patch fixes the string we look for, looking for the pair of both
fphp and asimdhp.
I have no platform to test this on, so my testing is to show that it builds
and correctly enables the fp16 extension when given a faked up /proc/cpuinfo
I've committed this as obvious to trunk (as revision 249411) and gcc-7-branch
(as revision 249413).
Thanks,
James
