[PATCH 1/2] doc: imx95_evk: Update Arm GNU toolchain version to 14.2

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <festevam@nabladev.com>

The imx-oei and imx-sm build systems defaults to:

  TC_VERSION ?= 14.2.rel1

but the documentation still instructs users to download the 13.3 toolchain.
This causes the build to fail because the expected directory name does
not exist.

Update the documentation to reference the 14.2 toolchain to match the build
system default.

[PATCH 2/2] doc: imx95_evk: Fix the binary name

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <festevam@nabladev.com>

U-Boot produces flash.bin as the final boot image when building for
the i.MX95 EVK, but the documentation refers to imx-boot-imx95.bin.

Update the instructions to use flash.bin when copying the image to
the SD card.

As this is no worse than before, OK. But we should really be globally
consistent about toolchain wording and that CI runs with the kernel.org
community toolchains.

These specific Arm toolchains are required to build imx-oei and imx-sm
binaries only.

The U-Boot binary is still built by a standard toolchain.

Right, but we generally tell people to just use the same toolchains they
have access to, instead of relying on specific ones. I'm sure NXP
qualified their binaries on something specific there but it would be a
bit shocking these days if regular old gcc 13.x / 14.x didn't Just Work.
But it's not just NXP with links to specific toolchains, I see it for
other vendors right now in tree too. It just caught my eye as something
that we should be better and more consistent about.

I am still using 12.3.1 at my local, a bit sad that 13.3 would cause issue.

But anyway it is good to have doc updated.
