Summary

Updates README.md to document the repository's current role as a maintained fork of the NXP MCUX SDK drivers for MicroPython and similar embedded projects.

Changes

  • Clarifies purpose as a trimmed-down SDK subset (~100MB vs ~1.6GB)
  • Documents the fork history from hathach/nxp_driver
  • Adds instructions for using update_sdk.py to pull updates from official NXP releases
  • Explains how to add support for new chip families
  • References related PRs for context

Context

The repository was forked from hathach/nxp_driver when TinyUSB moved to the official SDK. The previous README described it as part of TinyUSB, which no longer reflects its current purpose.

I see that master is currently MCUX_2.11.0 even though there is a newer version MCUX_2.16.100 on a branch.

Should we merge that 2.16.100 change to master? What's the policy with master vs branches?

Otherwise this PR looks good, but we may want to merge 2.16.100 first (as commit a298e8a) so that MicroPython's submodule matches something in this repo.

Now that this is merged, should we delete the two branches on this repo and just have master?
