A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1',
which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this
one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section
gcc has now and might add in the future.
However, '*(.rodata*)' by itself will result in sub-optimal section
ordering. The sections will be sorted by object file, which causes extra
padding between the unaligned rodata.str.1.1 of one object file and the
aligned rodata of the next object file. This is easy to fix by using the
SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT command.
This patch has not be tested one most of the boards modified. Some boards
have a linker script that looks something like this:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.rodata)
*(.rodata.str1.4)
*(.eh_frame)
I change this to:
*(.text)
. = ALIGN(16);
*(.eh_frame)
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
This means the start of rodata will no longer be 16 bytes aligned.
However, the boundary between text and rodata/eh_frame is still aligned to
16 bytes, which is what I think the real purpose of the ALIGN call is.

We load the secondary stage u-boot image from NAND to
system memory by nand_load, but we did not flush d-cache
to memory, nor invalidate i-cache before we jump to RAM.
When the system has cache enabled and the TLB/page attribute
of system memory is cacheable, it will cause issues.
- 83xx family is using the d-cache lock, so all of d-cache
access is cache-inhibited. so you can't see the issue.
- 85xx family is using d-cache, i-cache enable, partial
cache lock. you will see the issue.
This patch fixes the cache issue.

Note that with older board revisions, NAND boot may only work after a
power-on reset, and not after a warm reset. I don't have a newer board
to test on; if you have a board with a 33MHz crystal, please let me know
if it works after a warm reset.
