[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/4] arm64: rela relocation

This lets us remove the manual relocation stuff from the arm64 patchset
(the symbol itself is removed by this patchset, but not all the new
manual relocations added by the arm64 patchset).

I'm not terribly happy with the way relocate-rela is now, versus something
cleaner that operates on the ELF file, but it's good enough for now and
waiting longer to get rid of the manual relocations would be worse.

This patchset is based on David's arm64 patchset v13.  David, the first
two patches should be applied before your arm64 patches.  Maybe the
fourth as well (except for the removal of the arm64 ifdef you added,
which would then need to be squashed with your patch).  The third patch
should be squashed with your patches (plus you should remove the manual
relocs).

Scott Wood (4):
  arm64: Add tool to statically apply RELA relocations
  arm64: Turn u-boot.bin back into an ELF file after relocate-rela
  arm64: Non-manual relocation
  arm64: Make checkarmreloc accept arm64 relocations
