It appears the recommendation from mkimage help output is to use "mkimage -T list" now.

It seems like this should be changed to "-T list" in the manpage.

There are several other options -A, -O and -C that also should probably be updated, but those options need an updated to the code as well, as they output the usage information in addition to listing the available Architecture/Os/Compression types:

$ mkimage -A list

Invalid architecture, supported are: Unknown architecture Unknown architecture Unknown architecture Unknown architecture alpha Alpha arc ARC arm ARM arm64 AArch64 ... x86_64 AMD x86_64 xtensa Xtensa

Using "mkimage -T list" just displays the list of image types, from what I can tell, which seems more-or-less fine.

I haven't tested anything newer than 2020.04~rc2, so there may be newer fixes upstream...
