Clang is pickier than GCC for the register size in asm statement. It
expects the register size to match the value size.
The asm statement expects a 32-bit (resp. 64-bit) value on Arm32
(resp. Arm64) whereas the value is a boolean (Clang consider to be
32-bit).
It would be possible to impose 32-bit register for both architecture
but this require the code to use __OP32. However, it does not really
improve the assembly generated. Instead, replace switch the variable
to use register_t.

This is OK. Could you please also change the return statement below?
Maybe something like:
return unlikely(!!ret);
Why? The compiler will implicitly convert the int to bool. 0 will turn
to false, all the other will be true.
We actually been actively removing !! when the type is bool (see the
example in get_paged_frame in common/grant_table.c).
