[Buildroot] [PATCH] configs/imx28evk: Generate the standard sdcard.img

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@nxp.com>

Generate the standard sdcard.img format that can be directly copied
to the SD card.

Remove the custom create-boot-sd.sh script and update the readme.txt
file accordingly.

This warning (and the paragraph) above it was still referring to a
"script", but there is not script to run anymore. So I've reworded this
a bit, and applied.

Thanks a lot for having converted this additional board to genimage,
much appreciated!
