With commit 0535e46d55d7 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version
v1.7.2-35-g52f07dcca47c") it is now a fatal error to U-Boot if our
device tree is not 8-byte aligned. In commit 85f586035d75 ("ARM: OMAP2+:
Pad SPL binary to 8-byte alignment before DTB") Beleswar Padhi explains
that we must have ALIGN(x) statements inside of a section to ensure that
padding is included and not simply that the linker address counter is
incremented. To that end, this patch:
- Aligns the final section before _end by 8-bytes by adding '. =
ALIGN(8);' or changing an existing ALIGN(4) statement.
- Ensure that we do have alignment by adding an ASSERT so that when not
aligned we fail to link (and explain why).

Our last sync with the kernel was 5.1. Even that was a partial one
as some patches from 4.x kernels were already missing making the
transition to a modern kbuild infeasible.
We are so out of sync now, that tracking the patches and backporting
them one by one makes little sense and it's going to take ages.
This is an attempt to sync up Makefile[.lib/.kbuild].
Unfortunately due to sheer amount of patches this is not easy to review,
but that's what we decided during a community call.
One of the biggest changes is get rid of partial linking entirely and
build .a archives isntead of .o.
We diaviate from the kernel on that. Instead of calling a custom script
to create the archive symbol table, we call ar with rcTP (isntead of
rcSTP) since we want a resulting archive that's sauble with the linker.
The only affected platforms are PPC ones. Unfortunately I don't have any
of them around to test, but the objdump of the resulting files --
arch/powerpc/lib/built-in.[oa] looks identical.

This adds a new board from CS GROUP. The board is called
MCR3000_2G, and has a CPU board called CMPC885.
That CPU board is shared with another equipment that will
be added in a later patch.
That board stores Ethernet MAC addresses in an EEPROM which
is accessed using SPI bus.
This patch was originally written by Charles Frey who's
email address is not valid anymore as he left the company.
