      Fix all linker script to handle all rodata sections · f62fb999
      Trent Piepho authored
      
      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.

      Add Flex-OneNAND booting support · 1bb707c3
      Kyungmin Park authored
      
      Flex-OneNAND is a monolithic integrated circuit with a NAND Flash array
      using a NOR Flash interface. This on-chip integration enables system designers
      to reduce external system logic and use high-density NAND Flash
      in applications that would otherwise have to use more NOR components.
      
      Flex-OneNAND enables users to configure to partition it into SLC and MLC areas
      in more flexible way. While MLC area of Flex-OneNAND can be used to store data
      that require low reliability and high density, SLC area of Flex-OneNAND
      to store data that need high reliability and high performance. Flex-OneNAND
      can let users take advantage of storing these two different types of data
      into one chip, which is making Flex-OneNAND more cost- and space-effective.
