Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] arm64: Add a build target for Flat Image Tree

Flat Image Tree (FIT) is a widely used file format for packaging a
kernel and associated devicetree files[1]. It is not specific to any
one bootloader, as it is supported by U-Boot, coreboot, Linuxboot,
Tianocore and Barebox.

This series adds support for building a FIT as part of the kernel
build. This makes it easy to try out the kernel - just load the FIT
onto your tftp server and it will run automatically on any supported
arm64 board.

The script is written in Python, since it is easy to build a FIT using
the Python libfdt bindings. For now, no attempt is made to compress
files in parallel, so building the 900-odd files takes a while, about
6 seconds with my testing.

The series also includes a few minor clean-up patches.

Changes in v4:
- Add a patch to move the single quotes for image name
- Use single quotes for UIMAGE_NAME

Changes in v3:
- Drop temporary file image.itk
- Drop patch 'Use double quotes for image name'
- Drop double quotes in use of UIMAGE_NAME
- Drop unnecessary CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT condition for help
- Avoid hard-coding "arm64" for the DT architecture

Changes in v2:
- Drop patch previously applied
- Add .gitignore file
- Move fit rule to Makefile.lib using an intermediate file
- Drop dependency on CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT
- Pick up .dtb files separately from the kernel
- Correct pylint too-many-args warning for write_kernel()
- Include the kernel image in the file count
- Add a pointer to the FIT spec and mention of its wide industry usage
- Mention the kernel version in the FIT description
