Hello Andrew,
I agree that the Linux TEXT_SECTION-style cleanup is more preferable.
My goal with this patch was to fix the observed CONFIG_COVERAGE boot
failure with the smallest change.
And your proposal requires wider linker-script rework and randconfig
validation.
Unfortunately I don't have enough time to take on that right now.
I'll take into account your feedback and will return to this later.
BR, Dmytro.
