NXP: some platforms build pass, but run time crash

[hakehuang]

Describe the bug

build hello world for below platform pass, but has no console output:

• frdm_kl25z
• frdm_kl17z512
• frdm_mcxc242
• frdm_mcxc444

To Reproduce

scripts/twister -p frdm-kl25z -j 12 -T samples/hello_world --inline-logs -M all --force-toolchain --disable-warnings-as-errors -x=CONFIG_CMAKE_LINKER_GENERATOR=y --device-testing --device-serial /dev/ttyACM0

or

scripts/twister -p frdm_ke17z512 -j 12 -T samples/hello_world --inline-logs -M all --force-toolchain --disable-warnings-as-errors -x=CONFIG_CMAKE_LINKER_GENERATOR=y --device-testing --device-serial /dev/ttyACM0

Expected behavior

see hello world from serial console

Impact

functions

Logs and console output

no logs

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: (e.g. Linux, MacOS, Windows)
• Toolchain (e.g Zephyr SDK, ...): IAR(iar-arm-build-tools-nightly-linux-9.70.1-alpha.5118)
• Commit SHA or Version used: v4.1.0-rc3-64-gb136f6da555b

At a first glance, a prime suspect when not even getting a zephyr crash dump
would be custom soc linker scripts that are missing flash configs and similar so the card doesn't boot.

Maybe a start would be porting these to CMake:

./mcx/mcxc/flash_config.ld
