Yes, I do.

Think about the situation that someone whats to use DHCP to boot  his
board,  which  will  usually  result  in the TFTP download of exactly
*one* image from a TFTP server. That image should  then  contain  the
Linux  kernel,  the dtb, the QE firmware image, eventually a ramdisk,
and maybe even more... That's what the new image format is about.

Best regards,

If I don't document something, it's usually either for a good reason,
or a bad reason.  In this case it's a good reason.  :-)
