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.

This moves the last piece from the old spi_flash driver to the new SPI
framework -- optional DMA RX support.  This typically cuts speeds by ~40%
at the cost of additional ~300 bytes.

The actual SPI driver for i.MX31 and i.MX51 controller
use a wrong byte ordering, because it is supposed
to work only with Freescale's devices, as the Power
Controllers (PMIC). The driver is not suitable for
general purposes, because the buffers passed to spi_xfer
must be 32-bit aligned, as it is used mainly to send
integer to PMIC devices.

The patch drops any kind of limitation and makes the
driver useful with devices controlled sending commands
composed by single bytes (or by a odd number of bytes), such as
spi flash, sensor, etc.

Because the byte ordering is changed,
any current driver using this controller must be adapted, too.

The handling of the SPI_CPOL bit inside the SPI
driver was wrong. As reported by the manual,
the meaning of the SSPOL inside the
configuration register is the same as reported
by SPI specification (0 if low in idle, 1 is high
on idle). The driver inverts this logic.

Because this patch sets the logic as specified, it is required
to clear the CPOL bit in the configuration file to adapt
to the correct logic.

The patch adds support for setting gpios to the
MX51 processor and change name to the corresponding
functions for MX31. In this way, it is possible to get rid
of nasty #ifdef switches related to the processor type.

Linux uses an offset of 8 to switch from hardware cs to a gpio cs,
so have u-boot use the same value.  Also make sure it is public
for boards to access.

Rather than only support the pins dedicated as chip selects, utilize the
gpio framework to support any gpio pin.
