    treewide: rework linker symbol declarations in sections header · 506df9dc
    Shiji Yang authored and Tom Rini's avatar Tom Rini committed
    1. Convert all linker symbols to char[] type so that we can get the
       corresponding address by calling array name 'var' or its address
       '&var'. In this way, we can avoid some potential issues[1].
    2. Remove unused symbol '_TEXT_BASE'. It has been abandoned and has
       not been referenced by any source code.
    3. Move '__data_end' to the arch x86's own sections header as it's
       only used by x86 arch.
    4. Remove some duplicate declared linker symbols. Now we use the
       standard header file to declare them.
    
    [1] This patch fixes the boot failure on MIPS target. Error log:
    SPL: Image overlaps SPL
