Hi Sudi,

Thanks again. Here's an update that adds 4 more tests, so all 8 patterns
generated are now tested for!

Below is the updated changelog

gcc/
2018-07-26  Sam Tebbs  <sam.tebbs@arm.com>

         * config/aarch64/aarch64-simd.md
         (*aarch64_get_lane_zero_extendsi<mode>):
         Rename to...
(*aarch64_get_lane_zero_extend<GPI:mode><VDQQH:mode>): ... This.
         Use GPI iterator instead of SI mode.
