The log_debug(), etc. function are documented only in the header file at
present. Add a section to README.log also.

The above have SPL versions also, e.g. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_LOG_LEVEL.
+Convenience functions
+---------------------
+
+A number of convenience functions are available to shorten the code needed
+for logging:
+
+ log_err(_fmt...)
+ log_warning(_fmt...)
+ log_notice(_fmt...)
+ log_info(_fmt...)
+ log_debug(_fmt...)
+ log_content(_fmt...)
+ log_io(_fmt...)
+
+With these the log level is implicit in the name. The category is set by
+LOG_CATEGORY, which you can only define once per file, above all #includes:
+
+ #define LOG_CATEGORY LOGC_ALLOC
+
+or
+
+ #define LOG_CATEGORY UCLASS_SPI
+
+Remember that all uclasses IDs are log categories too.
