Park Ju Hyung ab2c5752c3 linker: convert 'mov pc' instruction to 'bx'
From Linux 3.17 6ebbf2ce437b33022d30badd49dc94d33ecfa498:

    ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
    to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
    "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
    and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
    architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
