Yes, but the current state should IMO not been taken as reference.
I don't have time ATM to achtually check with older versions, but
I'm pretty sure that that was handled correctly in the original FIT
implementation, and the examples made sense at the time they were
being written. I suspect that later changes broke the code, so only
the code needs to be fixed.
In general for the image handling there should be no distinction at
all whether this is a kernel or ramdisk or FPGA or whatever image -
compression is a feature independent of the image type, and that's
how the code should handle it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Why can you only have two doors on a chicken coop? If it had four it
would be a chicken sedan.
