This is a first stab at the linker-generated array. Basically, this concept is a generic abstraction of how u_boot_cmd works today. The patch 2/4 contains a huge pile of documentation which should clarify most of the questions.
I don't see size growth, I see size fluctiation in the order of tens of bytes with these patches applied. Subsequent patch added to this series removes the __u_boot_cmd section completely.
V2: Flip over commands to the LG-arrays, inline the documentation with kernel-doc (most people seems to be happy about KD, it's just a matter of negotiating the rules). Add patch discarding the u_boot_cmd section.
NOTE: This patchset has a cross-dependency on: [PATCH 0/4] Implant kernel-doc from Linux kernel
NOTE: Compile-testing of the latest patch in progress ... comments welcome.
Marek Vasut (5): common: Add symbol handling for generic lists into Makefile common: Implement support for linker-generated arrays common: Add .u_boot_list into all linker files common: Convert the U-Boot commands to LG-arrays common: Discard the __u_boot_cmd section
