The change to arm_neon_fp16_ok was committed in r227033 (as per https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg02470.html).

I've now updated this patch with the change to arm_neon_fp16_hw (rather than
 _hw_ok), as per https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-09/msg00488.html.

OK for trunk?

Thanks, Alan

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* doc/sourcebuild.texi (arm_neon_fp16): Correct cross-reference.
	(arm_neon_fp16_ok): Document adding of -mfp16-format=ieee flag.
	(arm_neon_fp16_hw): New.
