(Quick reply from my other email before I forget.)

>From the FIT source file format document, found in U-boot source
"doc/usage/fit/source_file_format.rst", or on the website:

Under "'/images' node" -> "Conditionally mandatory property", the
"compatible" property is described as "compatible method for loading image."

I'll add the reference in the next version.
