[PATCH 7/7] ARM: simplify and fix linker script for TCM
Nicolas Pitre
nicolas.pitre at linaro.org
Thu Mar 8 19:21:00 PST 2018
Let's put the TCM stuff in the __init section directly. No need for
a separately freed memory area.
Remove redundant linker sections, as well as comments that were more
confusing than no comments at all. Finally make it XIP compatible by
using LOAD_OFFSET in the section LMA specification.
