[U-Boot] [PATCH] fit: Enable fitImage by default if OF_LIBFDT is enabled
Enable fitImage by default on systems which already use libfdt. The fitImage has many benefits over zImage and supersedes legacy uImage, so enable it by default where possible to make it widely available.

You need to run this through travis or otherwise build the world. A number of platforms fail due to size constraints and a few others (snow for example) fail for other reasons. Thanks!

Lovely, so how do we constrain those ? btw I'd have expected snow to have fitImage enabled already ?

Well, I would suggest updating their defconfigs to have the feature disabled. snow was failing for some other reason, that I'm still pretty sure was part of this patch and not some of the others I asked for changes on.
