[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/6 v2] powerpc/doc: Update the README.srio-pcie-boot-corenet

Tue May 7 10:30:45 CEST 2013


1. Misalignment will be found in the doc/README.srio-pcie-boot-corenet
   file when the tabs are set to 8 characters. And the standard for
   u-boot should be 8 character tabs! So this issue should be amended.

2. Add a NOTE for the ENV parameters of the Slave.
