This option is used to run arch-specific shell scripts which produce .its files which are used to produce FIT images. We already have binman which is designed to produce firmware images. It is more powerful and has tests.
So this option should be deprecated and not used. Existing uses should be migrated.
Mentions of this in code reviews over the last year or so do not seem to have resulted in action, and things are getting worse.
So let's add a warning.
