Can you tell us more about this?

I don't think mkimage -l/dumpimage -l actually provide that information 
and the docs are sparse as to what "so that things work correctly with 
FIT's configuration-matching algortihm." means.

Looking a bit into tools/binman/ftest.py it seems like it's a way to 
expose the DT compatible property from within the first entry in `fdt` 
array property (a DTB) into the configuration node in the fit image.

I think it'd make sense to update dumpimage/mkimage/etc... to dump that 
information as well?

Thanks!
