CCS warning message "defined symbol can not have a .ref"

Problem:
Why does CCS generate a warning message "defined symbol can not have a .ref"? This warning message was not generated in earlier versions.

Solution:
ISA: C6000; All CCS after v2.20:
This warning message is generated whenever a `.ref` directive is used to reference a symbol in an assembly file included using an `.include` directive; the symbol being defined using the `.equ` directive in the source assembly file.

This symbol should be used in the included assembly file without the `.ref` directive. The removal of the `.ref` directive in the included assembly file will eliminate this warning message. This non-requirement of the `.ref` directive in the included assembly file is detected only by CCS 2.20 and hence the other versions do not generate this warning message.
