With binman generating flash.bin, it's not longer necessary to specify either the location of ATF nor is it necessary to specify building flash.bin, so let's update the build instructions to remove those. While in here, update the revision of ATF and DDR firmware so both Mini and Nano reference the same revision.

Perhaps, it's better to advise the [lf-5.10.72-2.2.0] tag here instead of
branch?
Using a tag makes sense.

There is a newer version of DDR firmware available from NXP (8.14), perhaps you can recommend it here instead of 8.9.

I don't think anything about the DDR firmware actually changed in a long time. There are other parts within that firmware-imx package which did change. However, they are irrelevant for U- Boot.
True, I've just compared SHA256 for all lpddr4* files from 8.5, 8.9 and 8.14 - they do match.
This suggestion would be valid only if the consistency with Yocto image is desired (Yocto does use the firmware version based on the archive name), but technically it is not required to use the latest drop from NXP here. If this is not needed - this comment of mine is irrelevant here.
For my purposes, I do not care about Yocto.
