Test robot reports the following error with clang-16.0.6:

On PPC32, for 64 bits vars a pair of registers is used. Usually the
lower register in the pair is the high part and the higher register is
the low part. GCC uses r3/r4 ... r11/r12 ... r14/r15 ... r30/r31

In older kernel code inline assembly was using %1 and %1+1 to represent
64 bits values. However here it looks like clang uses r31 as high part,
allthough r32 doesn't exist hence the error.

Allthoug %1+1 should work, most places now use %L1 instead of %1+1, so
let's do the same here.

With that change, the build doesn't fail anymore and a disassembly shows
clang uses r17/r18 and r31/r14 pair when GCC would have used r16/r17 and
r30/r31:
