Ah, I see, thanks.

So this is a bugfix because it doesn't show with mkimage -l, separate 
commit then.

Or maybe a constant to highlight the relation between both. Though one 
would need to give it an appropriate name... Here comes the most 
difficult part of SW development.

Could even have another callback e.g. get_image_type() which returns a 
const char* to print after "Image Type: " and move that to 
tools/mkimage.c to have consistent behavior for that part. Probably 
over-engineering this though :) (I think we'd need to update imagetool too).
