Will mkimage have a feature to read /dev/mtdx for example to give me the image header info?
You'd have to change the code. Currently, mkimage tries to mmap() the file, but [f]stat() on a /dev/mtd partition does not give any useful size.
I don't know if you have considered displaying the CRC of the image as part of the info, this would help differentiate kernel builds even if the images name and size have not changed from previous builds. This is especially
That's what the timestamp is good for.
useful for managing multiple kernels in a system.
I think reading a cryptic CRC is less helpful than the actual build time of the image.
