Hi All,

I pushed for review a Request For Comments (RFC) patch where I remove specific attributes for sections introduced a while ago.
At that time, it was fixing an issue with Armclang builds.
However it has been noticed that with GCC, those functions are not placed within the .text section, as otherwise expected.

With the proposed RFC patch https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-M/trusted-firmware-m/+/29755,
I ran a few tests and builds and the "old" issue with Armclang does not appear anymore and the functions are correctly placed within the .text section.

I would like to ask the community to cherry pick the patch and build & run their tests, to further verify that we are not breaking anything else.

If no issues are reported in a week or so, I will remove the RFC and then the patch will go through the final review.

Many thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards,
