Merge #208 208: linker: add sram origin symbol r=bradjc a=bradjc This allows elf2tab to determine what the start of RAM address is when generating a fixed address header in the TBF. See https://github.com/tock/elf2tab/pull/23 and https://github.com/tock/tock/pull/1845. Co-authored-by: Brad Campbell <bradjc5@gmail.com>
