Your changelog entry is confusing. You've deleted the
aarch64_combine_internal<mode> pattern entirely, having merged some of
its functionality directly into its caller (aarch64_combine<mode>).
So I think it should read:
* config/aarch64/aarch64-simd.md (aarch64_combine<mode>): Directly call
aarch64_split_simd_combine.
(aarch64_combine_internal<mode>): Delete pattern.
* ...
Note also there should be a space between the file name and the open
bracket for the first function name.
Why don't you need the big-endian code path any more?
