Hi Paul,

This change allows to replace both 'SEQ' and 'NAME' keywords by respectively a sequence number and the name of the FDT to provide more flexibility in the node name for the device trees included in the FIT.
This seems OK to me, but it would help to understand the motivation better. Can you expand this a bit?
The rational behind this change is because some projects uses some kind of board data to look for the right config in a FIT image in U-Boot. The default sequence number (config-1, config-2...) does not make it easy to retrieve the right config in such a case. For instance, OpenWrt uses the script "scripts/mkits.sh" to create an ITS passed to mkimage, where the config node names can be customized when supporting multiple configs and typically uses the device tree name appended to "config-". The idea is thus to provide the flexibility in binman to use the traditional scheme with the sequence numbers (config-1, config-2...) or use NAME instead (e.g. config-myboard1, config-myboard2...) or a combination of both.

Please update the documentation (near the top of this file) and regenerate entries.rst
It also needs a test so that coverage passes (binman test -T)...
Ok. I am going to update the documentation and add a test.
