Since USB DFU boot is supported on AM62Px SoC, document the steps required to build the image for USB DFU boot along with the steps to send images using the "dfu-util" tool.
Signed-off-by: Siddharth Vadapalli s-vadapalli@ti.com --- This patch has been newly introduced in this series based on the discussion at: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20241217131658.2920799-3-s-...
NOTE: This patch should only be merged if all other patches in this series will also be merged, in order to ensure that the feature is documented only if it is supported (i.e. all patches in this series which are required for the feature to be functional have been merged).
