ARM: assembler.h: Add string declaration macro
Declaring strings in assembler source involves a certain amount of tedious boilerplate code in order to annotate the resulting symbol correctly. Encapsulating this boilerplate in a macro should help to avoid some duplication and the occasional mistake. Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
