[Buildroot] [PATCH] board/freescale/imx8mqevk: remove hardware support section from readme

[Gary Bisson]

At first the support for i.MX8MQ processors was minimal, hence this
section in the readme file.

Since then, GPU support was added [1] in master and VPU in next [2].

So drop this section as it is confusing people and no one maintains it.

Hi,

Someone sent me a question about GPU support for i.MX8MQ, pointing out
that the EVK readme clearly says it isn't supported :(

Can this patch be included for 2018.08 release?

Also, would it be possible to update the release text [1] to mention
i.MX8MQ graphics support? Something like:
- i.MX Vivante graphics version bumped to 6.2.4.p1.2 adding support for
  Wayland and i.MX8MQ platforms

Regards,
Gary

I've applied to master, thanks.

Peter: what do you think about this? Do we change the 2018.08-rc1
release details after the fact ? Do we include this in the 2018.08
final announcement, even if it was already there in 2018.08-rc1 ?

Best regards,

Thomas
