lib: Revert usage of asm-code in MTYPE definitions
The asm-code was interpreted inconsistently for different platforms. In particular for AArch64 this caused UB, if multiple static MTYPEs where defined in one file. All static MTYPE_* could point to the same memory location (namely the first defined MTYPE) OR to their respective (correct) locations depending on the context of their usage.
