[PATCH 2/3] firmware: fw_base: Use lla to access the global symbols defined in fw_base.S

[Vincent Chen]

In fw_base.S, no matter where the symbols are defined, it always uses "la"
to obtain the symbol address. In fact, if the access symbols are defined
in fw_base.S, we also can use "lla" to get their address instead of "la".
When fw_base.S is compiled as a PIC object, using "lla" can allow the
assembler to use the PC-relative method to get the symbol address instead
of GOT reference, thereby avoiding performance loss.
