It seems like fit_uname_config can be NULL (see outside of the patch 
context). How does printf behave when this is the case? Should we do 
something like

fit_uname_config ?: ''

instead? That does seem like the message could be confusing also as now 
it says "Could not find configuration node ''".

Cheers,
Quentin
