This patchset does as stated in the subject. It has been build tested

as can be seen below:

What is the motivation for this change? Using zImage is - from the technical point of view - the poorest of the available choices. If you are not happy with using uImages, then why do you not move forward and use FIT images?

I am with you here. zImage is not a good format, since it's inflexible and not protected by anything (no checksum etc) at all. For deployment, it's even more poor choice.

Best regards,
Marek Vasut
