For ARM thumb2 style you need a third instruction between the two:

  IT EQ

The 'IT' is for 'if then'. There could also be more 'then's and 'else's for the conditional execution of muliple instructions:

  ITTE LT

(If then then else) The following instructions could for example be:

  ADDEQ ...
  STREQ ...
  BNE ... (Branch - not equal because of the else)
