[PATCH 33/33] doc: boards: amlogic: add documentation for ODROID-HC4

Add separate documentation for the ODROID-HC4 board to ensure
users build U-Boot using the HC4 defconfig that enables PCIe
SATA boot. This avoids user frustration trying to boot after
using the C4 recipe which only works from SD card.

+U-Boot for ODROID-HC4 (S905X3)
+==============================
+
+ODROID-HC4 is a variant of the ODROID-C4 single board computer manufactured by Hardkernel
+with the following specification:
+
+ - Amlogic S905X3 Arm Cortex-A55 quad-core SoC
+ - 4GB DDR4 SDRAM
+ - 16MB XT25F128B SPI-NOR flash
+ - Gigabit Ethernet
+ - HDMI 2.1 display
+ - 7-pin GPIO header for OLED display and RTC
+ - 1x USB 2.0 host (micro)
+ - 2x SATA ports via ASM1061 PCIe to SATA controller
+ - microSD
+ - UART serial
+ - Infrared receiver
+
+Schematics are available on the manufacturer website.
+
+U-Boot Compilation
+------------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
+    $ make odroid-hc4_defconfig
+    $ make
+
+U-Boot Signing with Pre-Built FIP repo
+--------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+    $ git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip --depth=1
+    $ cd amlogic-boot-fip
+    $ mkdir my-output-dir
+    $ ./build-fip.sh odroid-hc4 /path/to/u-boot/u-boot.bin my-output-dir
+
+U-Boot Manual Signing
+---------------------
+
+Amlogic does not provide sources for the firmware and tools needed to create a bootloader
+image so it is necessary to obtain binaries from sources published by the board vendor:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ wget https://releases.linaro.org/archive/13.11/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
+    $ wget https://releases.linaro.org/archive/13.11/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
+    $ tar xvfJ gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
+    $ tar xvfJ gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
+    $ export PATH=$PWD/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.11_linux/bin:$PWD/gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2013.11_linux/bin:$PATH
+
+    $ DIR=odroid-hc4
+    $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot.git -b odroidg12-v2015.01 $DIR
+
+    $ cd odroid-hc4
+    $ make odroidc4_defconfig
+    $ make
+    $ export UBOOTDIR=$PWD
+
+Go back to mainline U-Boot source tree then:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ mkdir fip
