To let the full U-Boot know where it was booted from (i.e. which of the entries in /chosen/u-boot,spl-boot-order' contained a valid image), we define (and document) /chosen/u-boot,spl-boot-device as the property that could/should automatically be injected by SPL.
This commit only contains a documentation change, which documents the new property and the intended usage.
