We're in the position where we'd like to have FDT support just because it simplifies our code a whole lot; yet we want to be able to run such a kernel on older u-boots (completely unaware of FTDs) as well. I believe this must be a very common use case indeed. So a dtbuImage. would be very useful in this case. If I understand it correctly, dtbImage. is indeed just a cat of zImage+dtb, whereas dtbuImage. is the uimage of such a dtbImage.. So it shouldn't be such a crazy idea to create a dtbuImage. within Kbuild (as opposed to from an external wrapper for make). Is there any reason why nothing like that was ever mainlined? Or maybe I'm just missing something? Thanks!
