README.hardware: remove u-boot flashing instructions for mpc8315e-rdb
Upgrading u-boot is apparently not necessary with current board revisions, and these instructions may not work properly anyway (our toolchain seems not to be able to compile u-boot in the way described), and given that they are potentially risky they should be removed.

241 then make it available on your tftp server. To compile the new u-boot:
242
243 $ git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

251
252 =>setenv ipaddr <board ip>
