Introduce support for generating Flattened Image Tree images containing
the kernel & platform-specific configuration such as a device tree
binary. The FIT format is supported by U-Boot and has a number of
advantages over the older legacy uImage format:
- It includes device tree binaries inside the image without embedding
them directly into the kernel ELF, allowing the bootloader to easily
find & manipulate the DTB whilst still only requiring a single file
to be loaded during boot or distributed to users.
- It allows for an arbitrary number of images & configurations to be
included in a single file. Once the code for various systems built
around the MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture (ie.
Imagination Technologies MIPS cores with optional CM, GIC & CPC) is
consolidated sufficiently this will allow for a single binary to
include multiple device trees & boot on multiple boards.
- It allows for a choice of hash algorithms to verify the contents of
the image.
- It allows for cryptographically signed images should that ever be
desired.
