/**
* A linker list is constructed by grouping together linker input
* sections, each containing one entry of the list. Each input section
* contains a constant initialized variable which holds the entry's
* content. Linker list input sections are constructed from the list
* and entry names, plus a prefix which allows grouping all lists
* together. Assuming _list and _entry are the list and entry names,
* then the corresponding input section name is
*
* .u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
*
* and the C variable name is
*
* _u_boot_list + _2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
*
* This ensures uniqueness for both input section and C variable name.
*
* Note that the names differ only in the first character, "." for the
* section and "_" for the variable, so that the linker cannot confuse
* section and symbol names. From now on, both names will be referred
* to as
*
* %u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
*
* Entry variables need never be referred to directly.
*
* The naming scheme for input sections allows grouping all linker lists
* into a single linker output section and grouping all entries for a
* single list.
*
* Note the two '_2_' constant components in the names: their presence
* allows putting a start and end symbols around a list, by mapping
* these symbols to sections names with components "1" (before) and
* "3" (after) instead of "2" (within).
* Start and end symbols for a list can generally be defined as
*
* %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _1_...
* %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _3_...
*
* Start and end symbols for the whole of the linker lists area can be
* defined as
*
* %u_boot_list_1_...
* %u_boot_list_3_...
*
* Here is an example of the sorted sections which result from a list
* "array" made up of three entries : "first", "second" and "third",
* iterated at least once.
*
* .u_boot_list_2_array_1
* .u_boot_list_2_array_2_first
* .u_boot_list_2_array_2_second
* .u_boot_list_2_array_2_third
* .u_boot_list_2_array_3
*
* If lists must be divided into sublists (e.g. for iterating only on
* part of a list), one can simply give the list a name of the form
* 'outer_2_inner', where 'outer' is the global list name and 'inner'
* is the sub-list name. Iterators for the whole list should use the
* global list name ("outer"); iterators for only a sub-list should use
* the full sub-list name ("outer_2_inner").
*
* Here is an example of the sections generated from a global list
* named "drivers", two sub-lists named "i2c" and "pci", and iterators
* defined for the whole list and each sub-list:
*
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_1
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_1
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_second
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_third
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_3
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_1
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_first
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_second
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_third
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_3
* %u_boot_list_2_drivers_3

*
* This macro declares a variable that is placed into a linker-generated
* array. This is a basic building block for more advanced use of linker-
* generated arrays. The user is expected to build their own macro wrapper
* around this one.
*
* A variable declared using this macro must be compile-time initialized.
*
* Special precaution must be made when using this macro:
*
* 1) The _type must not contain the "static" keyword, otherwise the
* entry is generated and can be iterated but is listed in the map
* file and cannot be retrieved by name.
*
* 2) In case a section is declared that contains some array elements AND
* a subsection of this section is declared and contains some elements,
* it is imperative that the elements are of the same type.
*
* 4) In case an outer section is declared that contains some array elements
* AND an inner subsection of this section is declared and contains some
* elements, then when traversing the outer section, even the elements of
* the inner sections are present in the array.
*
* Example:
* ll_entry_declare(struct my_sub_cmd, my_sub_cmd, cmd_sub) = {
* .x = 3,
* .y = 4,
* };
