Meanwhile, I have done a test branch on the u-boot-arm repo that you can
use to perform tests. The branch is 'test-smdk5250-full-ELF'. You
should try progressively:

- test-smdk5250-full-ELF^^^^ -- this is the commit before the ELF patch
- test-smdk5250-full-ELF^^^ -- this limits sections that objcopy uses
- test-smdk5250-full-ELF^^ -- this adds harmless sections to the ELF
- test-smdk5250-full-ELF^ -- this moves .hash out of the .bin
- test-smdk5250-full-ELF -- this moves .got.plt out of the .bin

Please let me know which branch works and which does not.

Amicalement,
