commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=aa3622758bb08fa517a3054076fca89f7697e550
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The patch added by [1] to fix a segfault with elf2flt when binutils
2.33.1 is used on ARM, introduce a regression with previous binutils
version on m68k and ARM.

Theses issues has been reported upstream [2] [3] but there is no
definitive solution.

The binutils 2.33.1 has been disabled for configurations using
BR2_BINFMT_FLAT by the previous commit, so we can safely remove
the patch.

Fixes:

-Subject: [PATCH] elf2flt: fix relocations for read-only data
-
-Readonly data sections are mapped into the "text" section in the
-elf2flt.ld linker script. The relocation generation code is not handling
-that case properly though, and is actually mapping any data section type
-into the "data" section of the target binary.
-
-This problem case has been detected with elf2flt core dumping when used
-with binutils-2.33.1 (on ARM architecture targets). See thread at:
-
-   https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2019-10/msg00132.html
-
-Tested by Christophe Priouzeau [1]
-
-* binutils 2.33.1
-* buildroot 2019.11-rc1
-* patch on top of elf2flt (patch available on this thread)
-* configuration: stm32f469-disco with initramfs configuration on buildroot
-
-Result:
-Build: OK, all the binaries are generated
-Runtime test on stm32f469-disco: OK
