document where u-boot is retrieved from by SoM

This is similar to #2 but a summary of how u-boot is retrieved for all SoMs. The second and third column show whether u-boot can (and if yes, when) it will be retrieved from sd and emmc, respectively. The fourth column shows whether u-boot is flashed to a dedicated boot0 partition (when flashing to emmc) or directly to the main eMMC block device.

SoM from sd from emmc boot0
i.MX8MQ DIP switch ON DIP switch OFF yes
i.MX8M+ never yes yes
LS1028A yes never n.a.
A311D if emmc zeroed yes yes
RK3588 if emmc zeroed yes no

While we are at it, a table showing whether eMMC or SD-Card is mmcblk0 or mmcblk1 or mmcblk2.
