This line needs "r0" to be also added to the clobber list. If you
don't do this, then you may encounter sporadic r0 corruption
problem depending on the compiler version or optimization settings.

This would be:

    "msr     cpsr_c, r0\n\t" : : : "r0")

See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Extended-Asm.html for more
details.

An even better option is to just use something like this and give
the compiler freedom to pick any register:

    "msr     cpsr_c, %0\n\t" : : "r"(0x13|0xC0))
