It looks just like yours except that I have a single instruction as 
already stated above:

/path/to/image/u-boot.itb:load 0x40200000, jump_direct 0x40200000

and I'm loading the FIT image by running './imx_usb' without arguments.

As imx_usb_loader can't parse FIT image headers, I use 'jump_direct' to 
jump to the raw image entry point and let SPL parse the FIT. I think in 
that case imx_usb_loader shouldn't complain about a missing header.
