docs: Update the fu540 platform guide for new DT.

Browse source 
With 5.2-rc6 release, Linux kernel hosts the DT for Unleashed board
which is incompatible with the default DT from FSBL.

Update the document to use the DT from kernel.

Building SiFive Fu540 Platform
-----------------------------
In order to boot SMP Linux in U-Boot, Linux kernel higher than v.5.1-rc1 and
latest U-Boot(at least HEAD should ffb269ab30db or after) should be used.
In order to boot SMP Linux in U-Boot, Linux v5.1 (or higher) and latest
U-Boot v2019.04 (or higher) should be used.
**Linux Kernel Payload**
The HiFive Unleashed device tree(DT) is merged in Linux v5.2 release. This
DT (device tree) is not backward compatible with the DT passed from FSBL.
To use Linux v5.2 (or higher, the pre-built DTB (DT binary) from Linux v5.2
(or higher) should be used to build SiFive FU540 OpenSBI binaries by using
the compile time option *FW_PAYLOAD_FDT_PATH*.

**U-Boot Payload**
The command-line example here assumes that U-Boot was compiled using the
sifive_fu540_defconfig configuration and with U-Boot v2019.04 (or higher)
having SMP support.

With SMP support enabled in U-Boot:
To use U-Boot which follows Linux v5.2 (or higher) DT bindings, we will
need custom U-Boot with required driver changes which can be found in
riscv_unleashed_mmc_spi_v2 branch of https://github.com/avpatel/u-boot.git

Flashing the OpenSBI firmware binary to storage media:

expects the storage media to have a GPT partition table. It tries to look for a
partition with following GUID to load the next stage boot loader (OpenSBI in this case).
