Provide an u-boot.elf binary for Broadcom MIPS platforms by re-using
the already existing Makefile target for aarch64.
This u-boot.elf binary should be used as a stage 2 loader
until U-Boot can be replace the original Broadcom boot loader.

Split patches from main BMIPS support.

Álvaro Fernández Rojas (4):
  u-boot.elf: remove hard-coded arm64 flags
  u-boot.elf: allow overriding entry symbol
  MIPS: add support for generating u-boot.elf
  u-boot.elf: add quiet_cmd_u-boot-elf and cmd_u-boot-elf

This is needed in order to allow building it for other archs.
Move relocation comment to a better place.
Remove no longer needed dts FIXME.

LD gives the following warning when trying to process u-boot-elf.o
warning: cannot find entry symbol __start; defaulting to 0000000080010000
According to gnu-libc the entry symbol for mips is __start and not _start:

After a little reading of other platforms, _start seems a reasonable
default so:
