[meta-xilinx] [PATCH] linux-yocto_4.8: Resolve CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA for Zynq

This patch resolves a previous commit (ea4ca65aaf) which only mitigated
the issue caused due to CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA for Zynq.

This issue has been properly fixed in the next version of the kernel
(v4.10) and this change backports the patch to the v4.8 kernel for
linux-yocto(-tiny).

Additionally this change removes the forced disabling of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA allowing for Zynq platforms to use the feature
without issue.

+Subject: [PATCH] ARM: zynq: Reserve correct amount of non-DMA RAM
+
+On Zynq, we haven't been reserving the correct amount of DMA-incapable
+RAM to keep DMA away from it (per the Zynq TRM Section 4.1, it should be
+the first 512k). In older kernels, this was masked by the
+memblock_reserve call in arm_memblock_init(). Now, reserve the correct
+amount excplicitly rather than relying on swapper_pg_dir, which is an
+address and not a size anyway.
+
+Fixes: 46f5b96 ("ARM: zynq: Reserve not DMAable space in front of the
+kernel")
