Well, this is another topic where opinios may vary a lot.  I do
consider the wandboard a typical embedded system.  But this is not
really important here.

It is really a pity that people like you ignore the capabilities of
FIT images and fail to see which benefits they could bring to "general
computing use cases".

I know that I'm on lost ground here, and I do not try to block this
patch.  All I'm asking is to change the commit message.  If you do not
see reasons for using uImage (or even better FIT images) this does not
necessarily mean that there are no reasons.

Best regards,
