Is it OK to use <MODE>mode ? Because using <VDQ>mode resulted in lot
of build errors.
Also, I think the comparison should be inverted, ie, GET_MODE_SIZE
(<MODE>mode) == 16 since
we want to make the pattern pass if target is MVE and vector size is 16 bytes ?
Do these changes in attached patch look OK ?
