[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] FIT image: use compression = "none" for ramdisks

[Wolfgang Denk]

Dear Simon,

What makes you think this is a correct thing to do?

There are different approaches to handle things.  For example,
traditionally on Power Architecture we would use a raw kernel
binray, compress this (for example with gzip) before wrapping it
with mkimage into an (uImage or FIT) U-Boot image, and then let
U-Boot uncompress the kernel image into rum and start it.  On ARM
the kernel comes traditionally with it's own wrapper that does
unompressions and such.

Same for ramdisk handling.  On some systems it may make sense to
have U-Boot handle the uncompressing, so compression = "gzip";
may be fully intentional.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
