The integration of the FIT image-related build steps into the kernel
recipe has proven to be not very good. The new implementation with
kernel-fit-image.bbclass fixes some design issues:
* sstate does not work well when a fitImage contains an initramfs. The
kernel is rebuilt from scratch if the build runs from an empty TMPDIR.
* A fitImage kernel is not available as a package, but all other kernel
image types are.
* The task dependencies in the kernel are very complex and difficult to
debug if something goes wrong. As a separate, downstream recipe, this
is now much easier.
The long storry about this issue is here:
