When linking the final u-boot binary with LLD, the following link errors are seen:

According to Nick Desaulniers:
"This is a known difference between GNU and LLVM linkers; the GNU linkers permit relocations in readonly segments (making them not read only), LLVM does not (by default)."
Since U-Boot apparently seems to use relocations in readonly segments, change the global linker flags to permit them when linking with LLD by specifying '-z notext'.

Applied to u-boot-dm, thanks!
