Excerpts from Christophe Leroy's message of October 17, 2021 10:38 pm:In preparation of making func_desc_t generic, change the ELFv2 version to a struct containing 'addr' element. This allows using single helpers common to ELFv1 and ELFv2.

I guess it is so you can move this func_desc_t type into core code, but why do that? Is it just to avoid using the preprocessor?
I explained it in patch 7 but yes it probably also deserves some more explanation here as well.
That's right, it's to avoid having to spread #ifdefs everywhere.
On its own this patch looks okay. Acked-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>
