[U-Boot] [PATCH] README: davinci: update the documentation for DaVinci

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski at baylibre.com>

The DM* family of SOCs is no longer supported. We now support the
omap-l138 lcdk board and Lego EV3 platform. Reflect those changes
in the README.

 Summary
 =======
 
-This README is about U-Boot support for TI's ARM 926EJS based family of SoCs.
-These SOCs are used for cameras, video security and surveillance, DVR's, etc.
-DaVinci SOC's comprise of DM644x, DM646x, DM35x and DM36x series of SOC's
-Additionally there are some SOCs meant for the audio market which though have
-an OMAP part number are very similar to the DaVinci series of SOC's
-Additionally, some family members contain a TI DSP and/or graphics
-co processors along with a host of other peripherals.
+Note: this document used to be about the entire family of DaVinci SOCs but the
+support for the DM* family and DA830 has since been dropped.
 
-Currently the following boards are supported:
-
-* TI DaVinci DM644x EVM
-
-* TI DaVinci DM646x EVM
-
-* TI DaVinci DM355 EVM
-
-* TI DaVinci DM365 EVM
+This README is about U-Boot support for TI's DA850 SoC. This SOC has an OMAP
+part number but is very similar to the DaVinci series.
 
-* TI DA830 EVM
+Currently the following boards are supported:
 
 * TI DA850 EVM
 
-* DM355 based Leopard board
-
-* DM644x based schmoogie board
-
-* DM644x based sffsdr board
+* TI OMAP-L138 LCDK
 
-* DM644x based sonata board
+* Lego EV3

 Bootloaders
 ===============
 
-The DaVinci SOC's use 2 bootloaders. The low level initialization
-is done by a UBL(user boot loader). The UBL is written to a NAND/NOR/SPI flash
-by a programmer. During initial bootup, the ROM Bootloader reads the UBL
-from a storage device and loads it into the IRAM. The UBL then loads the U-Boot
-into the RAM.
-The programmers and UBL are always released as part of any standard TI
-software release associated with an SOC.
-
-Alternative boot method (DA850 EVM only):
-For the DA850 EVM an SPL (secondary program loader, see doc/README.SPL)
-is provided to load U-Boot directly from SPI flash. In this case, the
-SPL does the low level initialization that is otherwise done by the SPL.
-To build U-Boot with this SPL, do
-make da850evm_config
-make u-boot.ais
-and program the resulting u-boot.ais file to the SPI flash of the DA850 EVM.
+For DA850 an SPL (secondary program loader, see doc/README.SPL) is provided
+to load U-Boot directly from SPI flash. The SPL takes care of the low level
+initialization.
+
+The SPL is built as u-boot.ais for all DA850 defconfigs. The resulting
+image file can be programmed to the SPI flash of the DA850 EVM/LCDK.
