Commit 779c88c94c34 ("ARM: 8321/1: asm-generic: introduce .text.fixup
input section") introduced a new .text.fixup section which is merged
with .text at link time. This causes xtensa builds to fail with lots
of error messages similar to the following.
lib/lib.a(kobject.o): In function `kobject_create':
(.text+0x498): dangerous relocation: l32r: literal placed after use:
(.literal+0x150)
Linker script transformation needs to be updated to detect and handle
the new section.
I've posted a patch for it to the linux-xtensa ML a while ago:

This doesn't handle literals for .text.fixup AFAICT.
It doesn't, but then it wasn't supposed to. .text.fixup is arm specific.
