The $subject is misleading, bootm works just fine with compressed arm64
images, with the type set to "kernel".

Isn't that a non-sensical combination to begin with? Decompressing the
Image.gz kernel image to any location (however you determine that
destination) _is_ loading it.

If you want XIP, obviously the image must be uncompressed in the FIT. I
don't understand what you're trying to do here.
