[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 2/2] fit: Support compat string property in configuration node

Wed May 15 22:29:58 UTC 2019
This patch adds support for an optional optimization to compatible
string matching where the compatible string property from the root node
of the kernel FDT can be copied into the configuration node of the FIT
image. This is most useful when using compressed FDTs or when using FDT
overlays, where the traditional extraction of the compatible string from
the kernel FDT itself is not easily possible.

- No changes for v2
- No changes for v3
- Changes for v4:
- Added documentation for compatible string in config node.
- Added example .its file for compressed FDT with compat string in
config node.

The FDT blob is required to properly boot FDT based kernel, so the minimal
configuration for 2.6 FDT kernel is (kernel, fdt) pair.
