As I'm not that long with U-Boot, can you point me to a rough date of a
release that I could check to see if it worked at that time?
I can only speculate... The first bigger rework of the cose appears
to be this patch series:

But there have been earlier changes, and many later (heavy) reworks,
too.
I have checked starting with v1.3.3 (i.e. v2008.05) and even then, the
compression property has only been handled for kernels. It seems like
only the kernel has been loaded from FIT back then...
Next I checked v2009.01, where FDT and ramdisk are loaded from FIT, too.
There is even a check that FDT is uncompressed. For ramdisk, the
compression property is not checked.
Reading that, I tend to think uncompression has always been like it is now.

Simon
