Hi! As mentioned in the PR, x86 (maybe a couple of other targets) isn't an AUTO_INC_DEC target, it doesn't have REG_INC notes nor wants the generic code to synthetize any pre/post inc/dec/modify, but does support push/pop patterns that use those RTL codes.
If unlucky enough, as on the following testcase, we can end up with trying to propagate such pre/post inc/dec into a DEBUG_INSN, which is invalid. As cleanup_auto_inc_dec calls copy_rtx which is pretty much the same function as cleanup_auto_inc_dec in the way how it performs deep copy of the RTX, except that cleanup_auto_inc_dec also handles the pre/post inc/dec/modify, I think the easiest fix is just to remove the special case, it shouldn't make it any slower on !AUTO_INC_DEC targets.
