Sorry for the delay.  For your program, there's a few things such as
missing license header and being able to opt-in as otherwise we add a
new build dependency for everyone.

For getting FIT image contents, the existing dumpimage tool handles
this.

What is missing and would be greatly appreciated is updating some
documentation to include what's described in:
commit 39931f966adaeadd66dc7a905f7dddb93f66bac3
Author: Guilherme Maciel Ferreira <guilherme.maciel.ferreira@gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Jan 15 02:54:42 2015 -0200

    dumpimage: fit: extract FIT images

to be much more visible.  What's documented there works today but I had
to double check how myself as it's not as visible as it should be.
Thanks!
