Hi,

but it's not only imx8mq_evk.  Tom has merged the patchset that switches
*all* i.MX8MQ boards to Binman, which means that this change touches not
only imx8mq_evk but all i.MX8MQ boards.  The only thing that is specific
to imx8mq_evk is the documentation change.

Should I still change it?

Thanks,
Patrick
