[Axel Haslam]

The da850 soc's can boot from a external mmc card, but
the AIS image should be written to the correct sector.

Add instructions to copy the AIS image to a MMC card.

+Flashing the images to MMC
+==========================
+If the boot pins are set to boot from mmc, the RBL will try to load the
+next boot stage form the first couple of sectors of an external mmc card.
+As sector 0 is usually used for storing the partition information, the
+AIS image should be written after the first sector, but before the first
+partition begins. (e.g: make sure to leave at least 500KB of unallocated
+space at the start of the mmc when creating the partitions)
+
+To skip the first sector, the AIS image can then written using
+the following dd command:
+dd if=u-boot.ais of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=1 bs=512 conv=fsync
+
+CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR is used by SPL, and should
+point to the sector were the u-boot image starts on the MMC card.
+(eg. after SPL).
