R-Car-Starter-Kit-gen3.md: Include references to firmware update
We need to have the firmware on the device updated to match the rest of the BSP. Refer to the steps listed on eLinux.org rather than duplicate this information. Bug-AGL: SPEC-1175 Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com>

+To boot the board using a micro-SD card, there are three operations that should be done prior to first initial boot:
+* Update all firmware on the device.
* Create a SD-card with one ext4 partition,
* Set up the board to boot on the SD-card.
Then, for each build, the SD-card is merely rewritten and used to boot the configured board.
+## Firmware Update
+
+This proceedure is done in two steps. The first step only needs to be done once per device. The second step should be done, starting with the Eel release, per release.
+
+### Update Sample Loader and MiniMonitor
+
+Follow the documentation on the [eLinux.org wiki][R-car loader update] for the exact list of steps on how to perform the required steps to update to at least version 3.02. This should be done even in the case where a **Kingfisher** or other expansion board will not be connected.
+
+### Update the firmware stack
+
+As an AArch64 platform both the **h3ulcb** and **m3ulcb** have a firmware stack that consists of multiple parts. In both cases we have **ARM Trusted Firmware**, **OP-Tee** and **U-Boot** in use. Starting with Eel you must update the firmware to at least the version referenced here. For the exact steps required to flash the device see the eLinux.org wiki for **[h3ulcb][R-car h3ulcb firmware update]** or **[m3ulcb][R-car m3ulcb firmware update]** respectively. In both cases the files listed in the table will be found in the *\$AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/$MACHINE* directory as specified in previous steps.

Plug the microSD card and get its associated device by either running *`dmesg | tail -15`* or *`lsblk`*, for example:
