Patrick Wildt b05cebb5f2 imx8mq: Generate a single bootable flash.bin again
All i.MX8MQ boards have been converted to binman, which makes it
necessary to flash both flash.bin and u-boot.itb to get a bootable
system. Prior to the conversion, only flash.bin was needed.

Such new requirement breaks existing distro mechanisms to generate the
final binary because the extra u-boot.itb is now required.

Generate a final flash.bin that can be used again as a single bootable
binary to keep the original behavior.

After this change the SPL binary is called spl.bin, which is a more
descriptive name for its purpose, and can still be used standalone (for
example, for secure boot purposes).

Also update imx8mq_evk.rst to remove the u-boot.itb copy step.

This is a cherry-pick of 028abfd9b1 ("imx8mm-evk: Generate a single
bootable flash.bin again") adjusted to apply to i.MX8MQ.

- Build U-Boot
- Boot
Get and Build the ARM Trusted firmware
--------------------------------------
Note: srctree is U-Boot source directory
Get ATF from: https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-atf
branch: imx_5.4.47_2.2.0
.. code-block:: bash
$ make PLAT=imx8mq bl31
$ cp build/imx8mq/release/bl31.bin $(builddir)
Get the ddr and hdmi firmware
-----------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.9.bin
$ chmod +x firmware-imx-8.9.bin
