commit 6e2228fb052b ("Merge patch series "Clean up arm linker scripts")
was cleaning up linker scripts for armv7 and v8 but was leaving
_end and __secure_stack_start/end.
commit d0b5d9da5de2 ("arm: make _end compiler-generated")
was moving _end to be compiler generated. _end is defined as c variable
in its own section to force the compiler emit relative a reference.
However, defining those in the linker script will do the same thing
since [0].
So let's remove the special sections from the linker scripts, the
variable definitions from sections.c and define them as a symbols.
It's worth noting that _image_binary_end symbol is now redundant and
can be removed in the future.
- SPL
The .end section has been removed from the new binary

Make use of "IMAGE_MAX_SIZE" and "IMAGE_TEXT_BASE" rather than
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE and CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE. This lets us re-use the
same script for both SPL and TPL. Add logic to scripts/Makefile.spl to
pass in the right value when preprocessing the script.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Commit 41623c9 'arm: move exception handling out of start.S files' missed some
linker scripts. Hence, some boards no longer had exception handling linked since
this commit. Restore the original behavior by adding the .vectors section to
these linker scripts.

This prevents references to _end from generating absolute
relocation records.
This change is binary invariant for ARM targets.

Let all ARM linker scripts handle properly -ffunction-sections
and -fdata-sections. This will be useful for future changes in order to create
symbol-specific sections in common .S files.

Note this is a tree-wide change affecting multiple architectures.
At present we use __bss_start, but mostly __bss_end__. This seems
inconsistent and in a number of places __bss_end is used instead.
Change to use __bss_end for the BSS end symbol throughout U-Boot. This
makes it possible to use the asm-generic/sections.h file on all
archs.
