How about I write a patch to change the decompression call in
fit_image_load() to fall back to a memcpy() if the decompression fails
(and print a big warning that the FIT image is wrong and should be
updated)? That should keep those old installations working.

Hmm... I'm not sure why it wouldn't just decompress correctly,
actually. Is there anything special with how gzipped data is formatted
for the kernel decompressor? Or is there any limitation in the U-Boot
gzip implementation?
