Can we agree on this?

I haven't tried out the CONFIG_FIT stuff yet so some of these concerns might not be real issues:

1. Are their changes to linux kernel build system to create a

FIT .uImage ?

Not yet.

2. if "#define CONFIG_FIT 1" can we use an "old" style uImage?

Yes, of course.

If the answer to 2. is no, I'm concerned about boards that are part of a family (like Freescale reference boards for PPC) and having two different image formats to deal with.

No, I don't intend to force incompatible changes on innocent users :-)

Ideally, nobody has even to take notice of the new feature - unless they run "help" on some of the commands.

But then, they *can* use the new features if they want.

Best regards,
