[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: Correct comments in crt0.S for the recent SPL improvements

Sat Aug 1 16:55:46 CEST 2015
The current comments need a bit of tweaking since we now support stack
and global_data relocation in SPL. Also add a reference to the README.
For AArch64 this is not implemented, so leave a TODO for this.
