This took me a bit of head-scratching to get right...
arm_find_shift_sub_rtx calls arm_find_sub_rtx_with_code, looking for
ASHIFT, with find_any_shift set to TRUE. There, we're going to run
through the subRTX of pattern, if the code of the subrtx is one of the
shift-like patterns, we return X, otherwise we return NULL_RTX.
Thus

is not needed, and the code can be reduced to:
if ((early_op = arm_find_shift_sub_rtx (op)))
return !reg_overlap_mentioned_p (value, early_op);
return 0;
So, this looks fine to me from an AArch64 perspective - but you'll need an
ARM OK too as this is shared code.
