[U-Boot] [PATCH] Revert "build: Use filechk rules to create and update u-boot.lds"

This reverts commit a8b993eb81c142a439c24b871a2317f765fe5397.
Commit a8b993eb claims it fixes u-boot.lds rule by replacing $(call if_changed) with $(call filechk).
But the problem had already been fixed by commit 395e60cd a few days before commit a8b993eb was posted.
There is no reason to apply commit a8b993eb. What is worse is $(call filechk) is too strong to fix the problem and looks weird.
Date of the two patches:

[2] commit a8b993eb81c142a439c24b871a2317f765fe5397 Author: Jon Loeliger jon.loeliger@oracle.com AuthorDate: Tue Apr 15 16:09:37 2014 -0500 Commit: Tom Rini trini@ti.com CommitDate: Fri Apr 18 16:14:16 2014 -0400 replaces $(call if_changed) -> $(call filechk)
A conflict must have happened when applying [2], but somehow it was applied, sadly.

Bummer. Sorry about that. I didn't see Masahiro's patch.
What is worse is $(call filechk) is too strong to fix the problem and looks weird.
I'm sure I don't understand that critique at all. "Looks weird"?
However, your patch (395e60cdc) is better in that it catches both the regular top-level and the SPL build's load scripts. Mine did not.

Hi Jon,

The linker script is processed by C-preprocessor. It means the dependency of included files should be tracked to decide if the linker script should be updated or not. This is the same as the rule of generationg objects. ( *.c -> *.o or *.S -> *.o)
$(call filechk ) does not do this dependency tracking and always runs the preprocessor.
The why it looks weird to me.
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
