[U-Boot] [PATCH v6] arm: support Thumb-1 with CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD

From: Albert ARIBAUD albert.u.boot@aribaud.net
When building a Thumb-1-only target with CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD, some files fail to build, most of the time because they include mcr instructions, which only exist for Thumb-2.
This patch introduces a Kconfig option CONFIG_THUMB2 and uses it to select between Thumb-2 and ARM mode for the aforementioned files.
Signed-off-by: Albert ARIBAUD albert.u.boot@aribaud.net Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de --- This patch is necessary for the SPEAr600 x600 U-Boot port to fit into the onboard NOR flash again. Reducing the size by about 200KiB. So, if nothing is really missing here, then please let's apply it after the v2015.10 release.
Thanks, Stefan
Here the original comment from Albert, from v5: This patch has been build-tested and run-tested on ED Mini V2, above the "edmini: switch to SPL" patch, and found to reduce U-Boot size by 25% and SPL size by 14%... and to run fine.
This patch has also been tested against side effects on the non-Thumb wireless_space target. The binaries produced with and without this patch were found to differ only by their version string.
Changes in v6 (by Stefan): - Rebased on top of current mainline U-Boot Changes in v5: None Changes in v4: None Changes in v3: - added arch/arm/lib/mem{set,cpy}.S to the list of modules which should always be built in ARM state. - Selected HAS_THUMB2 for CPU_V7M. - Fixed invalidate_l2_cache() when building for Thumb-1.
Changes in v2: - fixed a typo in the commit message - added file arch/arm/thumb1/include/asm/proc-armv/system.h, which overrides arch/arm/include/asm/proc-armv/system.h when building for Thumb-1 and provides non-functional but Thumb-compilable IRQ and FIQ related macros and functions.

Did you change anything from v5 of this patch? Otherwise, I would prefer to apply the whole series.
Amicalement,

Hi Albert, No real change. Only rebased since v5 did not apply for me. Feel free to pick up any version you prefer. Thanks, Stefan
