Public bug reported: [Impact] Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by SHA1, MD5 or CRC32, etc. More details: https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/doc/uImage.FIT/howto.txt
The packaging changes will add support for building a FIT kernel binary blob which can be subsequently signed. These FIT-signed kernels will be consumed by snapcraft recipes to build kernel snaps for platforms with U-Boot bootloader enforcing secure boot. [Regression Potential] Minimal.
