+/**
+ * ll_entry_declare() - Declare linker-generated array entry
+ * @_type: Data type of the entry
+ * @_name: Name of the entry
+ * @_section_u: Subsection of u_boot_list in which this entry is placed
+ * (with underscores instead of dots, for name concatenation)
+ * @_section_d: Subsection of u_boot_list in which this entry is placed
+ * (with dots, for section concatenation)
+ *
+ * This macro declares a variable that is placed into a linker-generated
+ * array. This is a basic building block for more advanced use of linker-
+ * generated arrays. The user is expected to build their own macro wrapper
+ * around this one.
+ *
+ * A variable declared using this macro must be compile-time initialized
+ * and is as such placed into subsection of special section, .u_boot_list.
+ * The subsection is specified by the _section_[u,d] parameter, see below.
+ * The base name of the variable is _name, yet the actual variable is
+ * declared as concatenation of
+ *
+ * %_u_boot_list_ + @_section_u + _ + @_name
+ *
+ * which ensures name uniqueness. This variable shall never be refered
+ * directly though.
+ *
+ * Special precaution must be made when using this macro:
+ * 1) The _type must not contain the "static" keyword, otherwise the entry
+ * is not generated.
+ *
+ * 2) The @_section_u and @_section_d variables must match, the only difference
+ * is that in @_section_u is every dot "." character present in @_section_d
+ * replaced by a single underscore "_" character in @_section_u. The actual
+ * purpose of these parameters is to select proper subsection in the global
+ * .u_boot_list section.
+ *
+ * 3) In case a section is declared that contains some array elements AND a
+ * subsection of this section is declared and contains some elements, it is
+ * imperative that the elements are of the same type.
+ *
+ * 4) In case an outer section is declared that contains some array elements
+ * AND am inner subsection of this section is declared and contains some
+ * elements, then when traversing the outer section, even the elements of
+ * the inner sections are present in the array.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * ll_entry_declare(struct my_sub_cmd, my_sub_cmd, cmd_sub, cmd.sub) = {
+ * .x = 3,
+ * .y = 4,
+ * };
