Documentation: boards: stm32mp: document USB bootstrap via DFU
TF-A v2.6 now supports DFU for USB bootstrap on the STM32MP1. This is normally exercised by the STM32CubeProgrammer, but is easily usable with just dfu-util as well. Document how to.

+USB Bootstrap (DFU)
+-------------------
+
+The STM32MP1 can be strapped to boot from USB. After Power-On reset, it
+should be detectable as ``STMicroelectronics STM Device in DFU Mode``
+and can be uploaded to with ``dfu-util(1)``::
+
+ dfu-util --alt 1 -D tf-a-stm32mp157c-my-board.stm32
+ dfu-util --alt 3 -D bl3-firmware.fip
+ dfu-util --alt 0 -e
+
+The first command will talk to the BootROM and upload the first stage
+bootloader (ARM Trusted Firmware-A) into on-chip SRAM.
+
+When compiled with ``STM32MP_USB_PROGRAMMER=1``, TF-A v2.6 or higher
+will seamlessly continue operation of the DFU gadget. The second
+command will talk to TF-A to upload a Firmware Image Package, which
+is a format bundling further firmware including barebox.
+
+The final command will instruct TF-A to boot the loaded images.
+This all happens in volatile memory. To persist images, use
+normal barebox functionality like creating a DFU-gadget in barebox,
+Fastboot/USB mass storage ... etc.
+
+The FIP image containing barebox can be generated as described in
+137::ref:`stm32mp_fip`. Upstream TF-A doesn't support DFU for
+SSBLs using the legacy stm32image format.
