Hi,
I'm looking into the FIT support in the SPL, because we are planning to
load bootloader from a filesystem (on a MMC device); the SPL will be
stored in a write-protected SPI flash. To make sure that a user does not
accidentally put a wrong bootloader image on the filesystem, we would
like to do some kind of compatiblity checking. I guess this can be done
with the FIT image and its compatibility node. Looking into the code I
found out, that FIT images only seems to be supported when the
bootloader is loaded from raw MMC.
Simon, since this code is from you, might I ask, why you didn't put it
into the common spl.c (spl_parse_image_header(), etc) so it could be
used for all other methods, too? I just want to make sure, there is no
reason not to do it for our case.
