U-Boot has supported two kinds of asm-offsets.h.
One is generic for all architectures and its source is located at
./lib/asm-offsets.c.
The other is SoC specific and its source is under SoC directory.
The problem here is that only boards with SoC directory can use
the asm-offsets infrastructure.
Putting asm-offsets.c right under CPU directory does not work.
Now a new demand is coming. PowerPC folks want to use asm-offsets.
But no PowerPC boards have SoC directory.
It seems inconsistent that some boards add asm-offsets.c to SoC
directoreis and some to CPU directories.
It looks more reasonable to put asm-offsets.c under arch/$(ARCH)/lib.
This commit merges asm-offsets.c under SoC directories into
arch/$(ARCH)/lib/asm-offsets.c.
By the way, I doubt the necessity of some entries in asm-offsets.c.
I am leaving refactoring to the board maintainers.
Please check "TODO" in the comment blocks in
arch/{arm,nds32}/lib/asm-offsets.c.

Note1:
In arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/spear/Makefile
START := start.o
was changed
extra-$(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) := start.o
because spear/start.o is only used for SPL.
Note2:
START := start.o
was missing from arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/Makefile.
This commit simply adds
extra-$(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) := start.o

commit 0edf8b5b2f breaks
building on a different directory with the O= parameter.
The patch wil fix this issue, generating always asm-offsets.h before
the other targets.

In some circumstances, reset_timer_masked() was called be timer_init() in
order to perform architecture specific timer initialisation. In such
cases, the required code in reset_timer_masked() has been moved into
timer_init()
Reuse the gd->tbl value for timestamp and add gd->lastinc for lastinc bss
values in the arm926ejs timers implementation.
The usage of bss values in drivers before initialisation of bss is forbidden.
In that special case some data in .rel.dyn gets corrupted.
This patch is similiar to the patch Dirk Behme posted
for the armv7/omap-common/timer.c and added suggestions
from Reinhard Meyer.

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils. As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".
This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.
The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o". This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.
This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols. Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.
