Subject: [RFC v2 3/7] firmware: port built-in section to linker table
This ports built-in firmware to use linker tables,
this replaces the custom section solution with a
generic solution.
This also demos the use of the .rodata (SECTION_RO)
linker tables.
Tested with 0 built-in firmware, 1 and 2 built-in
firmwares successfully.
