Bug Description
[Impact]
flash-kernel does currently not support creating FIT images. There are some platforms where this is preferred, for instance for the Kria SOM platform.
This have been just fixed in flash-kernel 3.104ubuntu4 in impish (dev) (LP: #1931278), and we would like this ported back to hirsute/focal to support Kria SOM platform in focal.
[Test Plan]
For testing, a Kria SOM device is needed. By install flash-kernel with the fix, a file in path /boot/firmware/
[Where problems could occur]
The change adds new functionality which should not interfere with the previous one. However, there is some small potential for a regression happening. If that is the case, some hardware platforms that use flash-kernel might not be able to update the bootloader or will break it, making the system unable to boot.
