Paul Beesley 24dba2b39f doc: Reformat platform port documents
The platform port documents are not very standardised right now and
they don't integrate properly into the document tree so:

1) Make sure each port has a proper name and title (incl. owner)
2) Correct use of headings, subheadings, etc in each port
3) Resolve any naming conflicts between documents

NXP i.MX 8M Series
==================
The i.MX 8M family of applications processors based on Arm Corte-A53 and Cortex-M4
cores provide high-performance computing, power efficiency, enhanced system
reliability and embedded security needed to drive the growth of fast-growing
edge node computing, streaming multimedia, and machine learning applications.
Boot Sequence
-------------
Bootrom --> SPL --> BL31 --> BL33(u-boot) --> Linux kernel
How to build
------------
Build Procedure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Prepare AARCH64 toolchain.
- Build spl and u-boot firstly, and get binary images: u-boot-spl.bin,
u-boot-nodtb.bin and dtb for the target board.
- Build TF-A
Build bl31:
.. code:: shell
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make PLAT=<Target_SoC> bl31
Target_SoC should be "imx8mq" for i.MX8MQ SoC.
Target_SoC should be "imx8mm" for i.MX8MM SoC.
Deploy TF-A Images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TF-A binary(bl31.bin), u-boot-spl.bin u-boot-nodtb.bin and dtb are combined
together to generate a binary file called flash.bin, the imx-mkimage tool is
used to generate flash.bin, and flash.bin needs to be flashed into SD card
with certain offset for BOOT ROM. the u-boot and imx-mkimage will be upstreamed
soon, this doc will be updated once they are ready, and the link will be posted.
