OK. I noticed that I would need to rebase the changes, anyway, because uboot-tools was upgraded to use version 2016.05.

> 3/ Improving FIT support for the host variant
> 
> 4/ Improving FIT support for the target variant

Tasks 3 and 4 can not be separated because both depend on the new patch that makes FIT support really optional.

Probably because I pasted the block at the wrong place when was editting the file. I will move it to the original position.

OK

OK, I will make these changes. I'd like to emphasize, however, that currently uboot-tools is broken. FIT support is always compiled, so run-time dependence on "dtc" persists but dtc is not selected in Config.in{.host,}. This is the problem that my initial patch intended to fix.
