Mixing asm and C code is not recommended in a naked function by
gcc and leads to an error when using clang:
  drivers/bus/arm-cci.c:2107:2: error: non-ASM statement in naked
  function is not supported
        unreachable();
        ^

While the function is marked __naked it actually properly return
in asm. There is no need for the unreachable() call.

The commit title is a bit out-of-date now (I guess it could just be 
something like "remove unnecessary unreachable()" now), but the rest 
looks OK to me - even GCC clearly doesn't expect anything beyond the asm 
to be reachable anyway since the lack of epilogue includes the lack of 
any compiler-generated return. I've checked that GCC 7.2 generates 
identical object files before and after, other than (for obvious 
reasons) the line numbers generated by WANT_WARN_ON_SLOWPATH for all the 
WARN()s appearing later in the file.

Title: Oops, good catch! Will send a v3.

Thanks for checking gcc.
