MX28 can boot from SSP0 or SSP1, so it is better not to hardcode the SSP port
in the instructions.

Make sure to leave the 3V3 thing there. PORT=SSPn would be a better solution 
here too.

Sorry, but I disagree.

Please check table 12-2 from mx28 reference manual and you will see
that SD boot is also possible in 1.8V, so in the common README file it
makes no sense to hardcode the boot voltage. Besides that, mx23 does
not refer to 3.3V in its boot mode table.

PORT=SSPn is also noisy. Let's get rid of all this. People will have
to look the reference manual anyway.

Also, in v2 I will change "set the boot mode DIP switches" to "set the
boot mode pins", as not all boards use DIP switches.

When was the last time you saw 1V8 SD card ? ;-)

Applied to u-boot-imx, thanks.
