PATCH 1/1 mx6q: mx6qsabrelite: Update the README

The SD loader binary is now downloadable at

https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite

under a open-source 3-clause BSD license. Update the README for this.

The discussion shows that it's hard to change the hardware regarding the default SPI NOR boot of the SabreLite boards. I.e. this will stay the default boot. Therefore remove the 'early version of' statement.

 ---------------------------------
 
 The recent mainline U-Boot for the Freescale i.MX6q SabreLite board supports
-boot from SD card only. However, by default, the early version of SabreLite
+boot from SD card only. However, by default, the SabreLite
 boards boot from the SPI NOR flash. These boards need to be reflashed with
 a small SD card loader to support boot from SD card. This small SD card loader
 will be flashed into the SPI NOR. The board will still boot from SPI NOR, but
 the loader will in turn request the BootROM to load the U-Boot from SD card.
-At the moment of writing, please check with Freescale on the availablity of
-this small SD loader binary.
+
+The SD card loader is available from
+
+https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite
+
+under a open-source 3-clause BSD license.
 
 To update the SPI-NOR on the SabreLite board without the Freescale
 manufacturing tool use the following procedure:
 
 1. Write this SD card loader onto a large SD card using:
 
- sudo dd if=MX6_SPI_to_SD_loader.bin of=/dev/sXx
+ sudo dd if=iMX6DQ_SPI_to_uSDHC3.bin of=/dev/sXx
 
 Note: Replace sXx with the device representing the SD card in your system.
