Your patch drops CONFIG_LEGACY_IMAGE_FORMAT as a side effect of enabling
CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE. Is that intentional?

Debian systems use "legacy" format boot scripts to boot (at least when
using the "flash-kernel" package which is probably the most common
configuration) so recent U-Boot versions cannot boot Debian systems on
BeagleBone Black any more:

=== Begin ===
