Update the kernel and U-Boot versions to the actual versions in use.
Update the description of supported hardware features.

Add a note that the stale SPI flash environment issue only affects the
vendor BSP.

There are two build options: mainline support and vendor support.
For the mainline BSP, we use:
- Linux v4.15
- U-Boot v2018.01
- Linux v4.19.2
- U-Boot v2018.11
For the vendor BSP, we use the sources available from Marvell Github
page at https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors, which uses:
- Linux v4.4.52
- U-Boot v2017.03
- Linux v4.4.120
- U-Boot v2018.03
At the moment mainline support for the board is a work in progress.
Mainline kernel 4.15 enables eth2 in 1Gb (RJ45 connector J5) and
eth0 in 10Gb (SFP connector CON15 and RJ45 connector CON16).
The vendor BSP enables more hardware features out of the box,
e.g. all the network interfaces.
At the moment mainline support for the board is a work in
progress. Mainline kernel 4.19 enables eth2 in 1Gb (RJ45 connector J5),
copper 10Gb interfaces, and automatic configuration of select SFP
modules on the SFP cages. The vendor BSP enables more hardware features
out of the box, but lacks support for SFP detection and automatic
configuration.
To use the mainline BSP run the following commands:

The serial console is accessible at the micro-USB Type-B connector

By default U-Boot will load its environment from the SPI flash. On the
first boot SPI flash may be empty or it may contain a legacy
environment incompatible with up-to-date mainline U-Boot and
kernel. Then the following commands can be used to boot the board:

By default Marvell provided U-Boot will load its environment from the

legacy environment that prevents proper boot. Then the following
