We discussed this patch at the D?sseldorf Buildroot Meeting, and it was decided that it was not the effort supporting generating FIT images directly in Buildroot: * Depending on whether you want a FIT image that bundles your kernel+DTB and sits in your filesystem, or a FIT image that actually bundles your filesystem, it would have to be generated at a completely different time (first case should be handled as a normal Buildroot package, second case more as a filesystem image). * It's all about calling a single mkimage command, which can easily be enabled for the host in the "Host utilities" menu of Buildroot, and then called from either a post-build or a post-image script depending on your use-case. Therefore, we've decided to mark your patch as 'Rejected' in patchwork. Thanks nonetheless for your contribution!
