Update kernel build instructions for Pi 5
Just noticed the kernel build docs don't have instructions for the Pi5. Quite a bit changed also in Bookworm with the use of initramfs that also affects older gens, that could probably use updated instructions overall.
heh, i tried to follow the docs in a rpi4 with bullseye, and there is no /boot/firmware folder
the makefile seems to have a install target, the docs dont reflect this info

Documentation is written to support our latest operating system Bookworm.
Yea I think whats missing is a note to either disable initramfs loading in config.txt or how to generate a new one from the freshly compiled kernel. Would have made a PR but I'm not sure what RPi prefers here
I'm pretty sure generating initramfs is what RPi prefers. If you know how to do that, please submit a PR. If it's not what RPi wants, I'm sure they'll let you know in that PR.
Another partial fix: https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/pull/3313
I think this just needs instructions for creating/updating initramfs.
