Since the first addition of falcon support in 11.1, there have been a few
notable changes:

  1. Some pending patches have been merged to ti-u-boot and meta-ti, making the
    feature directly accessible to customers.
  2. The tifalcon.bin binary has been moved from SPI flash to MMC filesystem in
    OSPI boot modes.
  3. With the support for R5 SPL falcon mode merged in upstream u-boot1, we
    can link to upstream U-Boot docs instead of documenting everything in the SDK
    docs.

This PR addresses the above issues for the 11.2 release.

I'd recommend the following:

80fe06f3 (feat(Falcon-Mode): update to use upstream U-Boot docs, 2025-11-18)
b4b6d90c (feat(Falcon-Mode): update OSPI boot instructions, 2025-11-18)
ef7e3412 (fix(Falcon-Mode): remove links to patches", 2025-11-18)

With both the patch series merged to meta-ti and ti-u-boot for the 11.2
release, the additional note can be dropped.

This reverts commit c773978.
