One of the problems in this case is that negc clobbers the T bit.  Another
alternative
    movt   r0
    xor    #1,r0

should be selected here.  This could be done by looking at the insns around the
negc-movrt and check whether some insn after negc-movrt sets the T bit in the
same way as it was set before the negc-movrt.  In this case not clobbering the
T bit would eliminate the redundant test.  However, if this pattern occurs in a
loop or pressure on R0 is high, using negc and the redundant test is probably
going to be better.
