Subject: [PATCH 5.4 005/107] x86/boot: kbuild: allow readelf executable to be specified

From: Dmitry Golovin <dima@...ovin.in>

commit eefb8c124fd969e9a174ff2bedff86aa305a7438 upstream.

Introduce a new READELF variable to top-level Makefile, so the name of
readelf binary can be specified.

Before this change the name of the binary was hardcoded to
"$(CROSS_COMPILE)readelf" which might not be present for every
toolchain.

This allows to build with LLVM Object Reader by using make parameter
READELF=llvm-readelf.
