llvm dev - Nov 2020 - llvm-objdump -d unable to disassemble some Arm instructions

Using llvm-objdump -d to disassemble some Arm object files does not always
provide a full disassembly of some instructions.  For example, movw/movt
instructions end up being disassembled as "<unknown>" when
objdump -d is run without any other options:

cat test.s:
   movw    r0, #0
   movw    r3, #0
   movt    r3, #0
   movt    r0, #0

clang -mcpu=cortex-r5 -mthumb test.s -c

llvm-objdump -d test.o:
       0:       00 00 00 e3  <unknown>
       4:       00 30 00 e3  <unknown>
       8:       00 30 40 e3  <unknown>
       c:       00 00 40 e3  <unknown>

On cursory examination, it appears that llvm-objdump does not extract all of the
information from the obj file required to correctly decode the bits, including
endianness.  GNU's objdump tool does not appear to have this problem:

arm-none-eabi-objdump -d test.o
         0:   e3000000        movw    r0, #0
   4:   e3003000        movw    r3, #0
   8:   e3403000        movt    r3, #0
   c:   e3400000        movt    r0, #0

I'm curious if anyone has looked into this and would be willing to upstream
a fix?

On a related note, there are some outstanding LLVM defects filed that seem to
pertain to this but for different cases:
