Ok. I'll add a README file, but arm trusted firmware code and imx-mkimage
code are not public available now.

Another thing is the ddr script is not using structure based style code.
It is hard for me to convert it from register offset to structure based.
So In V2, I prefer to leave that piece code as TODO. I'll still include the
ddr part in the V2 patchset, but I am not sure it will be accepted or not.

Peng.
