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.

- Revives POST for blackfin arch;
- Removes redundant code:
arch/blackfin/lib/post.c
arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/commproc.c
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc512x/common.c
- fixes up the post_word_{load|store} usage.

Now that we have a unified gpio layer, the misc partial gpio commands
can be unified and made complete (support all possible gpios).

The new common spi framework and spi flash subsystem provides all the same
functionality as the old Blackfin-specific driver, so punt the old one as
it has been sticking around long enough.

The BF537-STAMP Blackfin board had a driver for working with NAND devices
that are simply memory mapped. Since there is nothing Blackfin specific
about this, generalize the driver a bit so that everyone can leverage it.

All the Blackfin linker scripts were duplicated across the board dirs with
no difference save from the semi-often used ENV_IS_EMBEDDED option. So
unify all of them in the lib_blackfin/ dir and for the few boards that
need to embedded the environment directly, add a LDS_BOARD_TEXT define for
them to customize via their board config file. This is much simpler than
forcing them to duplicate the rest of the linker script.

Many of the Blackfin board linker scripts are preprocessed, so make sure we
output the linker script into the build tree rather than the source tree.

All of the duplicated code for Blackfin processors and boot modes have been
unified. After all, the core is the same for all processors, just the
peripheral set differs (which gets handled in the drivers).

This punts the old spi flash driver for a new/generalized one until the
common one can be integrated.

The Blackfin on-chip MAC driver was being managed in the BF537-STAMP board
directory, but it is not board specific, so relocate it to the drivers dir
so that other Blackfin ports can utilize it.

The parallel flash on the BF537-STAMP is CFI compliant, so there is no need
for the board specific driver at all. Just use the common CFI driver.
