| |
Commit c3e2ee657418 ("MIPS: generic: Add support for zboot") added support for self-extracting images to Generic MIPS. However, the intended way to boot Generic MIPS kernels is using FIT Images and UHI boot protocol, but currently there's no way to make self-extracting FIT Image (only legacy uzImages).
This set consists of two parts: 1) various cleanups in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile as a prerequisite; 2) a new target named "vmlinuz.itb" for composing self-extracting FIT Images, which allows to have the advantages of both UHI and vmlinuz.
The second part involves some scenarios duplication, but I think it can be a subject for another series (for constifying and unifying FIT Images rules across the architectures).
