Public bug reported:

When compiling the following code:

int dst;
void func(unsigned short volatile* src)
{
  dst = *src;
}

with "gcc -mcpu=cortex-m3 -O2" I get an unnecessary UXTH:

ldrh r3, [r0]
ldr r2, .L3
uxth r3, r3
str r3, [r2]
bx lr

The problem does not manifest itself if I omit "volatile" or replace "cortex-m3" with "cortex-m0".
I tested the latest release 10-2020-q4-major and the previous one.
