armv7: Word-sized/half-word-sized memory operations for 32/16 bit read/write

Some registers only allow word-sized or half-word-sized operations and will
    cause a data fault when accessed with byte-sized operations.
    However, the compiler may or may not break such an operation into smaller
    (byte-sized) chunks. Thus, we need to reliably perform word-sized operations for
    32 bit read/write and half-word-sized operations for 16 bit read/write.

This is particularly the case on the rk3288 SRAM registers, where the watchdog
    tombstone is stored. Moving to GCC 5.2.0 introduced a change of strategy in the
    compiler, where a 32 bit read would be broken into byte-sized chunks, which
    caused a data fault when accessing the watchdog tombstone register.

The definitions for byte-sized memory operations are also adapted to stay
    consistent with the rest.
