After an internal discu= ssion with our colleagues, we feel that the proposed change does not fully = align with Qualcomm=E2=80=99s current approach to implementing DTB-only FIT= in the format expected by our UEFI bootloader. Given this, we=E2=80=99ve d= ecided to hold off on upstreaming the change for now. Our plan is to first = implement the DTB-only FIT support within our meta layer, refine it further= , and then propose a solution to oe-core that support both kernel+DTB FIT a= nd DTB-only FIT formats effectively. Thanks, Kavinaya
