Fabio Estevam 028abfd9b1 imx8mm-evk: Generate a single bootable flash.bin again
After the conversion to binman in commit 8996e6b7c6 ("imx8mm_evk: switch
to use binman to pack images"), it is necessary to flash both flash.bin and
u-boot.itb to get a bootable system. Prior to this commit, 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 imx8mm_evk.rst to remove the u-boot.itb copy step.

==========
U-Boot for the NXP i.MX8MM EVK board
Quick Start
-----------
- Build the ARM Trusted firmware binary
- Get ddr firmware
- Build U-Boot
- Boot
Get and Build the ARM Trusted firmware
--------------------------------------
Note: builddir is U-Boot build directory (source directory for in-tree builds)
Get ATF from: https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-atf
branch: imx_5.4.47_2.2.0
.. code-block:: bash
$ make PLAT=imx8mm bl31
$ cp build/imx8mm/release/bl31.bin $(builddir)
Get the ddr 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
$ ./firmware-imx-8.9
$ cp firmware-imx-8.9/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4*.bin $(builddir)
Build U-Boot
------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-poky-linux-
$ make imx8mm_evk_defconfig
$ export ATF_LOAD_ADDR=0x920000
$ make
Burn the flash.bin to MicroSD card offset 33KB:
.. code-block:: bash
$sudo dd if=flash.bin of=/dev/sd[x] bs=1024 seek=33 conv=notrunc
