Unless overridden by SORT*, LD will place sections matched by wildcards in the order they were seen in the link. So far, this meant that arch/ initcalls and device trees compiled into barebox proper, were always last. For platforms with PBL or with only one device tree in barebox proper, this didn't matter much, but when enabling the of_manipulation selftest, a second device tree would be built into barebox on kvx, openrisc and some MIPS. Because all directories appear before arch/, this had the effect that on kvx, openrisc and some MIPS, __dtb_start would end up pointing at the test's device tree instead of the board device tree breaking the build. Switching the affected platforms to use PBL would be one fix for the issue, but there's a simple one: let's just move test/ after arch/. My preferred solution would've been to move arch/ at the first beginning, but this may cause fallout for code that depended on specific ordering of initcalls or other linker-defined lists.
