@nemanjai, sorry, under merging I meant committing into llvm upstream.

I rechecked the docs, and there is no e500v2 option for -mcpu in GCC:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.1.0/gcc/RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options.html#RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options.

GCC defines 8540 (currently missing) and 8548, which I suppose we should 
support with default switches for SPE. As for other options, there also is 
-me500, which enables SPE, and -me500mc, which does not. I believe the need of 
these options is discussible.

The author of the patch may have his own thoughts behind, but I am not sure if 
e500, e500v1, or e500v2 should be used as mcpu switches at all. I am not 
against it if it makes things more convenient though.
