ppc4xx: Clarify comment about boot chip-select in start.S

Browse Source 
Ths old comment was quite screwed up. Replace it with a new version
that should be a bit more descriptive.

/* U-Boot - Startup Code for AMCC 4xx PowerPC based Embedded Boards
/*
* Startup code for IBM/AMCC PowerPC 4xx (PPC4xx) based boards
*
* The following description only applies to the NOR flash style booting.
* NAND booting is different. For more details about NAND booting on 4xx
* take a look at doc/README.nand-boot-ppc440.
*
* The processor starts at 0xfffffffc and the code is executed
* from flash/rom.
* in memory, but as long we don't jump around before relocating.
* board_init lies at a quite high address and when the cpu has
* jumped there, everything is ok.
* This works because the cpu gives the FLASH (CS0) the whole
* address space at startup, and board_init lies as a echo of
* the flash somewhere up there in the memorymap.
*
* board_init will change CS0 to be positioned at the correct
* address and (s)dram will be positioned at address 0
* The CPU starts at address 0xfffffffc (last word in the address space).
* The U-Boot image therefore has to be located in the "upper" area of the
* flash (e.g. 512MiB - 0xfff80000 ... 0xffffffff). The default value for
* the boot chip-select (CS0) is quite big and covers this area. On the
* 405EX this is for example 0xffe00000 ... 0xffffffff. U-Boot will
* reconfigure this CS0 (and other chip-selects as well when configured
* this way) in the boot process to the "correct" values matching the
* board layout.
