Sorry for hopping in late as I have been travelling. Guess much has been said, but for courtesy sake till dts/u-boot build support is dropped, would you consider accepting a simple extension to mkuboot.sh with minimal Kbuild changes? I can promise there will be quite a few users. Lots of folks want embedded device trees and there are already out of tree hacks floating as you know that do this. FIT approach to this is more cleaner I feel. Let me know what you can do.
