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:
- Are their changes to linux kernel build system to create a
FIT .uImage ?
Not yet.
- 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.
Than I'm all for.
