[PATCH] ARM: fix macro expansion with a pld insn as a macro argument


ARM operands can contain the characters '#', '[', and ']'.
But APP doesn't know this.  This breaks cases like the one
in the test case below:

	.macro foo arg, rest:vararg
		\rest
	.endm
		foo r0, pld [r0]

Here APP squashes the line to "foo r0,pld[r0]" before macro expansion.
When it actually gets to md_assemble, it's "pld[r0]" and that won't fly.

I have been using macros of this nature (where the instruction mnemonic
appears as part of a macro argument) for some time.  It just so happened
all the instructions I'd used this way heretofore had been ones whose first
operand standards with an alphanumeric character.  Now I tried it using
the "pld" instruction, whose first operand has the syntax of a ld* or st*
instruction's second operand, starting with a '['.

The fix seems quite straightforward and safe.
No regressions in 'make check' for arm-nacl and arm-linux-gnueabi targets.

Ok for trunk?
Ok for 2.23 branch?


Thanks,
Roland
