The PM854/PM856 boards are no longer maintained and thus we are removing
support for them.

<title>Switch from archive libraries to partial linking</title>

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Previously boards used a variety of indentations, newline styles, and
colon styles for the PCI information that is printed on bootup.  This
patch unifies the style to look like:

Clean up Makefile, and drop a lot of the config.mk files on the way.

We now also automatically pick all boards that are listed in
boards.cfg (and with all configurations), so we can drop the redundant
entries from MAKEALL to avoid building these twice.

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.

Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

Currently, 83xx, 86xx, and 85xx have a lot of duplicated code
dedicated to defining and manipulating the LBC registers.  Merge
this into a single spot.

To do this, we have to decide on a common name for the data structure
that holds the lbc registers - it will now be known as fsl_lbc_t, and we
adopt a common name for the immap layouts that include the lbc - this was
previously known as either im_lbc or lbus; use the former.

In addition, create accessors for the BR/OR regs that use in/out_be32
and use those instead of the mismash of access methods currently in play.

I have done a successful ppc build all and tested a board or two from
each processor family.

On 85xx platforms we shouldn't be using any LAWAR_* defines
but using the LAW_* ones provided by fsl-law.h.  Rename any such
uses and limit the LAWAR_ to the 83xx platform as the only user so
we will get compile errors in the future.

There are really no differences between all the 85xx linker scripts so
we can just move to a single common one.  Board code is still able to
override the common one if need be.

like:

PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_E500=1
PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_MPC85xx=1
PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_MPC8548=1

However these are all captured in the config.h and thus redudant.

<title>Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sections</title>

<id>f62fb99941c625605aa16a0097b396a5c16d2c88</id>
<content type='text'>
A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script.  Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.

However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering.  The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file.  This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.

This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified.  Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)

I change this to:

*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))

This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.
