Given the discussions occurring in D149573 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D149573>, let's hold off on landing this for now. It is sounding like we might have direction for repurposing `__bf16` for `std::bfloat16_t` (and a future `_BFloat16` C type; with `__bf16` retained as an alternate spelling). If we go in that direction, then we would presumably want a change that goes in the opposite direction of this patch; a change that migrates "bf16" names towards "bfloat16". Let's focus on confirming that direction first. I'll mark this as requesting changes for now while we figure this out.
