[PATCH v2] Documentation: boards: stm32mp: document eMMC partition layout

From: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
Date: 2020-02-27 13:29:29
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

For eMMC, the boot partitions are used for FSBL instead of having
these two partitions in the user area, like with SD-Cards.
Document this.

+The fsbl1 and fsbl2 can be flashed by writing to barebox ``/dev/mmcX.boot0`` and
