Re-Introduce: AM62x: Add minimal platform development guide

commit ef600dd (Revert "AM62x: Add minimal platform development guide") removed references of minimal platform guide till updates to the linked app note were addressed. https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spradd1 is now published. Enable back the minimal platform board porting guide for AM62x. Signed-off-by: Praneeth Bajjuri <[email protected]>

+Minimal Platform Development
+============================
+
+When customers purchase or develop custom boards using the TI AM62x
+family of SoCs, the heavy integration of the existing code base results
+in upbringing time that ranges from a few days to several weeks. If a
+developer would like to create a custom board using TI's AM62x SoC, they
+must edit both the device tree and configuration files used for the TI
+boards to fit their new independent layout with differing peripherals.
+This application note introduces a minimal configuration to streamline
+this process and reduce the time of this initial upbringing process to
+around one day, and as shown in the case study, as little as two hours.
+Use the application note below to begin minimal platform development for
+custom boards using the TI AM62x.
