Neither this help text nor the commit > text is really enlightening. You are right. I rephrased that to: Support using Flattened Image Tree (FIT) Images. FIT is an image format introduced by U-Boot. A FIT image contains one or multiple kernels, device trees and initrds. The FIT image itself is a flattened device tree binary. Have a look at the u-boot source tree in the "doc/uImage.FIT" folder for more information: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=tree;f=doc/uImage.FIT Does that sound ok?
