[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: Enable -ffunction-sections / -fdata-sections / --gc-sections

[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: Enable -ffunction-sections / -fdata-sections / --gc-sections

[Tom Rini]

While other architectures have enabled these gcc / ld options for some
time on U-Boot itself, ARM has only been doing this on SPL.  Enable this
on full U-Boot as well now.

I expect this was tested on various targets?

I build-tested eldk 4.2/5.2 and the Linaro 4.7 that Ubuntu has
available, with no build failures.  I spot checked what was being
dropped on am335x and some omap3/4 platforms and it looked correct, and
I did boot test am335x.
