Once this patch series is applied on the main branch I will rebase my patch, 
align to this and re-send.

Thanks for pointing this link out. We have been using bootscript approach for 
validating next level images, which works on validation of each of the Linux, 
rootfs and dtb image separately. The location of this bootscript is hardcoded 
in the board bootcmd file. However the approach pointed by this link is more 
generic, since it validates a single FIT image. I will work towards integrating 
our SoC's approach into this framework.
