Add documentation for the qfw bootmeth.
Fix up the compatible string to drop the 'extlinux' part, which is not
relevant to this bootmeth.

+QFW Bootmeth
+============
+
+`QEMU <hhttps://www.qemu.org/>`_ is a system emulator which is able to boot
+Operating Systems. QEMU provides specific support for booting an OS image
+provided on the QEMU command line.
+
+When invoked on a bootdev for UCLASS_QFW, this bootmeth reads the kernel
+provided by the QEMU `-kernel` argument, the initial ramdisk and provided by
+`-initrd` and the boot arguments (command line) provided by `-append` into
+memory ready for booting.
+
+When the bootflow is booted, the bootmeth tries the `booti` command first, then
+falls back to the `bootz` command. U-Boot's 'control' devicetree is passed
+through to the kernel.
+
+The compatible string "u-boot,qfw-bootmeth" is used for the driver. It is
+present if `CONFIG_QFW` is enabled.
