[U-Boot] end-user firmware upgrade

[Marcel <korgull@home.nl>]

Dear Wolfgang,

Thanks a lot for your replies and updating the manual. I think both answers 
are very useful as a start and give me some more options to check out.

I guess my number one choice would involve creating a USB gadget driver for u-
boot that supports upgrading the firmware. I don't have USB host on my system 
but I will certainly check out if TFTP. This does look like a valid solution 
to me so I will start there.

Best regards,
Marcel
