I tried debugging by adding printk() statements to the start-up code but
couldn't find anything conclusive. I am stuck there and am still trying to
figure out what broke the BSP after that particular version of the
firmware. If not, I will try to see if using u-boot we can fix this.
Meanwhile, this update to the docs temporarily ensures using of the older
firmware to boot the BSP.
