How is that wrong? What register was 85 assigned to? 4? Then is fully correct as TARGET_TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION is true for those sizes. On MIPS, TARGET_TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION is false for SI/DI truncation. You need TARGET_TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION to be false for those sizes and you get a truncate RTL instead of the subreg. subreg means the upper bits of the register are undefined.
