Are you talking about "RFC: New U-boot image format"? If so, then I just don't
Yes, I do.
see how that applies. I don't want a new binary format, because I already have one defined that works. If you want me to add support for my binary blob wrapped in some other kind of image format, I can add that *after* this patch has been applied, since the ability to accept these binary blobs as-is is necessary.
Think about the situation that someone whats to use DHCP to boot his board, which will usually result in the TFTP download of exactly *one* image from a TFTP server. That image should then contain the Linux kernel, the dtb, the QE firmware image, eventually a ramdisk, and maybe even more... That's what the new image format is about.
