Hi,

instead of using directive DE (or DW) always use DB.

Like:

EE_ROMDATA      CODE    0xF00000        ; data resides in onchip eerom
        DB      0x03,0x01,0x05,0x05,0xDC,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00
#define A_STRING_OFFSET $-EE_ROMDATA
        DB      "some number of bytes",0x00

If you keep number of bytes on each separate DB directive line even, =
then
you'll have no padding with 'extra' zeroes by the linker.
