boards/raspberrypi: update instructions

Browse source 
Now that we have a sanitised set of defconfig files, and we no longer
support non-DT setups, update and simplify the board readme file.

Configure Buildroot
-------------------
The raspberrypi_defconfig configuration is a minimal configuration with
all that is required to bring the Raspberry Pi up. You should base your
work on this defconfig:
There are two RaspberryPi defconfig files in Buildroot, one for each
major variant, which you should base your work on:
For models A, B, A+ or B+:
$ make raspberrypi_defconfig
Alternatively, if you want to test support for the Device Tree:
$ make raspberrypi_dt_defconfig
For Raspberry Pi 2 use a different defconfig:
And for model 2 B:
$ make raspberrypi2_defconfig

If your kernel does *not* have support for the Device Tree, then install
it with:
$ cp output/images/zImage /mnt/mountpointboot
If your kernel *does* have support for the Device Tree, then install it

The kernel image must be marked with a special header so that the
bootloader of the RaspberryPi knows it supports Device Tree:
$ ./output/host/usr/bin/mkknlimg output/images/zImage /mnt/mountpointboot/zImage
