Oh my...

Configuring for atstk1002 board...
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 112936	   8032	 216860	 337828	  527a4	./u-boot

with CONFIG_FIT and CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT enabled, compared to

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  87724	   6840	 215848	 310412	  4bc8c	./u-boot

on v1.3.2. That's 26KB...do we really want to make something _that_
expensive mandatory? Or can I somehow disable the old code to reclaim
some of it?
