Seems you could be right since they add it for a couple of boards 
defconfigs via patches, c.f. 
patch/u-boot/u-boot-genio/0003-GENIO-configs-genio-350-720-evk-Enable-LEGACY_IMAGE_.patch 
and patch/u-boot/u-boot-tqma/0005-add-LEGACY_IMAGE_FORMAT.patch.

So I guess it's "fine" (although you won't be able to do a proper secure 
boot with this enabled). So you can keep it in.

Thanks for the pointer!

Cheers,
Quentin
