[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/3] MIPS: fix building and linking of standalone programs

[Daniel Schwierzeck <daniel.schwierzeck@gmail.com>]

This series fixes the long-time broken support of standalone
programs on MIPS. All MIPS standalone programs now use the
main MIPS linker script and all available code size optimizations.
Finally the deprecated Makefiles arch/mips/cpu/mips[32,64]/config.mk
could be removed.

The series also improves the passing of additional linker flags
to standalone programs by introducing a Makefile variable
LDFLAGS_STANDALONE. Currently the variable CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
is misused on some archs to pass the path to the linker script. The
variable LDFLAGS_STANDALONE now provides a cleaner way to do that.
Furthermore it is now possible to migrate CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
to Kconfig as a hex symbol.
