ARM: imx6q_logic: Enable Falcon Mode and fatwrite

This patch enables Falcon Mode by default and updates the README
file to show instructions on how to run from the micro SD card
or eMMC.  This patch also enables fatwrite to help assist with
writing the 'args' to the microSD card.

 Flashing U-Boot into the SD card
 --------------------------------
+U-Boot is now building with SPL enabled which means there are two files to
+load into the SD card. Make sure the card is formatted with at least two
+partitions with the first partition being FAT32. First copy u-boot-dtb.img
+to the first partition then burn SPL to the SD card with dd.
+The SPL portion is programmed into a certain location for use by the internal
+bootROM and it cannot be changed.  The following instructions assume the SD
+card is located as /dev/sdb.

+Using Falcon Mode
+-----------------
+With Falcon Mode enabled, U-Boot can be bypassed by having SPL directly load
+the kernel.  The device tree, Kernel and boot args must first be configured,
+and stored to a file on the micro SD card called 'args'
+The kernel uImage is built with LOAD_ADDR=0x12000000 and the device tree is
+assummed to be imx6q-logicpd.dtb.
+
+By default the mmcroot is set to the baseboard.
+
+  # Establish bootargs
+  run mmcargs
+
+  # Load Linux Kernel uImage
+  fatload mmc 1 $loadaddr uImage
+
+  # Load Device Tree
+  run loadfdt
+
+  # Setup the blob that will get passed to the kernel
+  spl export fdt ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr_r}
+
+  # Note the starting and ending address of the updated device tree.
+  # for this example:
+  # Loading Device Tree to 1ffdf000, end 1fff038b ... OK
+  # Notice that 0x1fff038b - 1ffdf000 = 0x1138b
+  # now Add 1, so the length is 0x1138c.
+
+  fatwrite mmc 1 0x1ffdf000 args 0x1138c
+
+  # Reset the board and it will bypass U-Boot and SPL will directly boot
+  # the uImage
+
+To interrupt the boot sequence and force U-Boot to load, hold the 'c' button
+while starting.
