Subject: [PATCH 1/2] scripts/make_fit: Drop fdt image entry compatible string

According to the FIT image spec, the compatible string in the fdt image
node or any image node specifies the method to load the image, not the
compatible string embedded in the FDT or used for matching.

Drop the compatible string from the fdt image entry node.

While at it also fix up a typo in the document section of output_dtb.

Can you please add a link to where it says this in the spec? I cannot
find it after a short search.

I believe this patch is correct. Since the information is in the
configuration node it does not need to be in the FDT.

(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:
https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/usage/fit/source_file_format.html

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.

OK thank you.

There is also a spec version at [1] - it might be worth adding mention
of this explicitly for the fdt nodes.

It seems that this is already mentioned?

See https://github.com/open-source-firmware/flat-image-tree/blob/main/source/chapter2-source-file-format.rst?plain=1#L343

It looks like it was copied from U-boot directly.

I see that but I am suggesting that it could explicitly mention that
the FDT should not have a compatible string for the model...that
should only be in the configuration node.

Yes mostly it is the same, but there were some changes. It has evolved
slowly over the years but the bones of it is stable.

I sent a pull request on GitHub. The mailing list seemed very empty.
