Dear Simon,

However, uncompression currently is only implemented for kernels, not for other sub-images. This patch aims at updating the docs and the current .its examples to what they do now.
Yes, but the current state should IMO not been taken as reference. I don't have time ATM to achtually check with older versions, but I'm pretty sure that that was handled correctly in the original FIT implementation, and the examples made sense at the time they were being written. I suspect that later changes broke the code, so only the code needs to be fixed.
In general for the image handling there should be no distinction at all whether this is a kernel or ramdisk or FPGA or whatever image - compression is a feature independent of the image type, and that's how the code should handle it.
OK, so at least we all seem to have a common sense of how it should be :-)
I'd still argue that the standard example in 'multi.its' should have compression = "none" for the ramdisks.
Best regards, Simon
