Today, we have cases where we wish to build all of U-Boot in Thumb2 mode for
various reasons. We also have cases where we only build SPL in Thumb2 mode due
to size constraints and wish to build the rest of the system in ARM mode. So
in this migration we introduce a new symbol as well, SPL_SYS_THUMB_BUILD to
control if we build everything or just SPL (or in theory, just U-Boot) in
Thumb2 mode.

We only support cores that do Thumb-1 or later. So we add a comment to
explain this and remove the architecture test.

Current ARM assembler helper for the 'return to caller' pseudo-instruction
turns 'ret lr' into 'mov pc, lr' for ARMv5TE. This causes the core to remain
in its current ARM state even when the routine doing the 'ret' was called
from Thumb-1 state, triggering an undefined instruction exception.
This causes early run-time failures in all boards compiled using the Thumb-1
instruction set (for instance the Open-RD family).
ARMv5TE supports 'bx lr' which properly implements interworking and thus
correctly returns to Thumb-1 state from ARM state.
This change makes 'ret lr' turn into 'bx lr' for ARMv5TE.

Import unified.h from Linux kernel 4.4.6 , commit
0d1912303e54ed1b2a371be0bba51c384dd57326 . This header file contains
macros used in libgcc functions in Linux kernel on ARM and will be
needed for the libgcc sync.
Since unified.h defines the W(instr) macro, we must drop this from
the macro from memcpy.S , otherwise this triggers a warning about
symbol redefinition. In order to keep the changes to unified.h to
the minimum, tweak arch/arm/lib/Makefile such that it defines the
CONFIG_ARM_ASM_UNIFIED macro, which places .syntax unified into all
of the assembler files. This is mandatory.
Moreover, for Thumb2 build, define CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL macro if and
only if Thumb2 build is enabled. This macro is checked by unified.h
and toggles between ARM and Thumb2 variant of the instructions in the
assembler source files.
Finally, this patch defines __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=N macro based on the
new CONFIG_SYS_ARM_ARCH Kconfig option. This macro selects between
more optimal and more dense codepaths which work on armv5 and newer
and less optimal codepaths which work on armv4 and possible armv3m.
Tegra2 needs the same special handling as it does in arch/arm/Makefile
to cater for the arm720t boot core.

Resynchronize memcpy/memset with kernel 3.17 and build them in
Thumb2 mode (unified syntax). Those assembler files can be built
and linked in ARM mode too, however when calling them from Thumb2
built code, the stack got corrupted and the copy did not succeed
(the exact details have not been traced back). However, the Linux
kernel builds those files in Thumb2 mode. Hence U-Boot should
build them in Thumb2 mode too when CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is set.
To build the files without warning, some assembler instructions
had to be replaced with their UAL compliant variant (thanks
Jeroen for this input).
To build the file in Thumb2 mode the implicit-it=always option need
to be set to generate Thumb2 compliant IT instructions where needed.
We add this option to the general AFLAGS when building for Thumb2.
