Subject: [PATCH v2 05/11] certs: remove misleading comments about GCC PR

This dependency is necessary irrespective of the mentioned GCC PR
because the embedded certificates are build artifacts and must be
generated by extract_certs before *.S files are compiled.

The comment sounds like we are hoping to remove these dependencies
someday. No, we cannot remove them.
