Shiji Yang 506df9dc58 treewide: rework linker symbol declarations in sections header
1. Convert all linker symbols to char[] type so that we can get the
   corresponding address by calling array name 'var' or its address
   '&var'. In this way, we can avoid some potential issues[1].
2. Remove unused symbol '_TEXT_BASE'. It has been abandoned and has
   not been referenced by any source code.
3. Move '__data_end' to the arch x86's own sections header as it's
   only used by x86 arch.
4. Remove some duplicate declared linker symbols. Now we use the
   standard header file to declare them.

[1] This patch fixes the boot failure on MIPS target. Error log:
SPL: Image overlaps SPL

How to use U-Boot on variscite DART-6UL Evaluation Kit
------------------------------------------------------

- Configure and build U-Boot for DART-6UL iMX6ULL:

    $ make mrproper
    $ make variscite_dart6ul_defconfig
    $ make

  This will generate SPL and u-boot-dtb.img images.

Boot from MMC/SD:
- The SPL and u-boot-dtb.img images need to be flashed into the micro SD card:

    $ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=1; sync
    $ sudo dd if=u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=69; sync

- Boot mode settings:

  Boot switch position: SW1 -> 0
			SW2 -> 0

Boot from eMMC:
- if bootpart is not enabled by default, to enable under Linux
	echo 0 >/sys/block/mmcblk1boot0/force_ro
	mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk1boot0

- Flash the SPL and u-boot-dtb.img to mmcblk1boot0
    $ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/mmcblk1boot0 bs=1k seek=1; sync
    $ sudo dd if=u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/mmcblk1boot0 bs=1k seek=69; sync

- Boot mode settings:

  Boot switch position: SW1 -> 0
			SW2 -> 1

- Connect the Serial cable to UART0 and the PC for the console.

- Insert the micro SD card in the board and power it up.

- U-Boot messages should come up.
