[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: prevent using movt/movw address loads

[Jeroen Hofstee]

The movt/movw instruction can be used to hardcode an
memory location in the instruction itself. The linker
starts complaining about this if the compiler decides
to do so: "relocation R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC against `a local
symbol' can not be used" and it is not support by U-boot
as well. Prevent their use by requiring word relocations.
This allows u-boot to be build at other optimalization
levels then -Os.
