At first the support for i.MX8MQ processors was minimal, hence this
section in the readme file.
Since then, GPU support was added [1] in master and VPU in next [2].
So drop this section as it is confusing people and no one maintains it.

mx31_3stack board is currently supported in U-Boot and kernel mainline,
so if someone is interested on this board, then a target can be introduced
later which uses these mainline components.

Sometimes imximage throws the following error:
MKIMAGE u-boot-dtb.imx
Error: No BOOT_FROM tag in board/freescale/mx6sxsabresd/imximage.cfg.cfgtmp
arch/arm/imx-common/Makefile:91: recipe for target 'u-boot-dtb.imx' failed
Later on, when running mkimage for the u-boot.imx it will succeed in
finding the IVT offset.
Looks like some race condition happening during parallel build when
processing mkimage for u-boot-dtb.imx and u-boot.imx.
A proper fix still needs to be implemented, but as a workaround let's
remove the error when the IVT offset is not found.
It is useful to have such message, especially during bring-up phase,
but the build error that it causes is severe, so better avoid the
build error for now.
The error checking can be re-implemented later when we have a proper
fix.
This workaround has already been applied in mainline U-Boot:

The T1 QoriQ from NXP has had a few varients of RDB dev boards.
This target is against the latest D4RDB version. Any of the
other versions before D4RDB (plain RDB), may require backing off
the uboot version to SDK 1.6 and/or adjusting the kernel dtb used.
This board configuration provides an upstream kernel build which
has been verified to boot on target.
The target assumes the user still uses the NXP suggested prebuilts
in the SDK2.0 (last release for PowerPC). If a uboot rebuild is
required, the source for SDK2.0 can be found in the following repo.
