/**
 * 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,
 * };
