Re: [PATCH 3/8] bfd/sh: drop unused relocation enumerators
This patch removes unused relocation enumerators from the SH backend of the BFD library. These enumerators are likely remnants from the SH5 architecture’s 64-bit ISA, SHmedia, which never fully materialized. Removing them cleans up the code and prevents potential confusion or misuse.
