I don't think this enforces anything to be statically linked. You don't
have to refer to the symbol from C code for module linking to work. You
may have to use a combination of ADRP + ADD :lo12: to make sure you can
reach the symbol (ADR is limited to +/- 1MB).

I think that would be a lot clearer as it will be self-contained.

Thanks,
