I have played with SPL_FIT support and find some things
First of all
"mkimage: Support placing data outside the FIT"
(722ebc8f84d5bccd2e70fad1079a0dd40cceddec)
is missing description in usage function to see what -E options does.

Then I have found a problem with fit address calculation because it has
to be aligned.
I have sent an RFC for it
"SPL: FIT: Align loading address for header"

I have also added support for ram load for FIT - please review.
"SPL: FIT: Enable SPL_FIT_LOAD in RAM based boot mode"
And also for SD fat based images.
"SPL: FIT: Enable SPL_FIT_LOAD for sd bootmode for fat partions"

Is there any plan to support falcon mode?
Also I see kind of interesting to have one fit image with ATF, Secure
OS, bitstreams and U-Boot and Linux kernel + dtbs
Currently spl_load_simple_fit() seems to me expecting to blindly read
the first fit partition and say this is u-boot and then based
configuration description choose dtb.

Do you have any plan to get even u-boot image from configurations instead?
The we should get a support for loadables.

Thanks,
Michal
