Deepthi Peter 13fc020d1b docs(morello): update the boot sequence according to the TBBR boot flow
The boot sequence mentioned in the documentation referred to an older
boot flow. This patch updates the boot sequence to the TBBR boot flow
that is currently being followed.

Morello Platform
================
Morello is an ARMv8-A platform that implements the capability architecture extension.
The platform port present at `site <https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git>`_
provides ARMv8-A architecture enablement.
Capability architecture specific changes will be added `here <https://git.morello-project.org/morello>`_
Further information on Morello Platform is available at `info <https://developer.arm.com/architectures/cpu-architecture/a-profile/morello>`_
Boot Sequence
-------------
The SCP initializes the RVBAR registers to point to the AP_BL1. Once RVBAR is
initialized, the primary core is powered on. The primary core boots the AP_BL1.
It performs minimum initialization necessary to load and authenticate the AP
firmware image (the FIP image) from the AP QSPI NOR Flash Memory into the
Trusted SRAM.
AP_BL1 authenticates and loads the AP_BL2 image. AP_BL2 performs additional
initializations, and then authenticates and loads the AP_BL31 and AP_BL33.
AP_BL2 then transfers execution control to AP_BL31, which is the EL3 runtime
firmware. Execution is finally handed off to AP_BL33, which is the non-secure
world (UEFI).
SCP -> AP_BL1 -> AP_BL2 -> AP_BL31 -> AP_BL33
Build Procedure (TF-A only)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Obtain arm `toolchain <https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-a/downloads>`_.
Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable to point to the toolchain folder.
- Build TF-A:
.. code:: shell
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path-to-aarch64-gcc>/bin/aarch64-none-elf-
make PLAT=morello all
