I haven't tried this yet, but I think we should be able to boot a FIT
image configuration which only contains a kernel image. We could then simply
use the legacy append-DT like we do for legacy uImage ramips.

Not the nicest way, but considering we need it for the target anyways, i consider
this the simpler solution.

Note however, that this has to be at least also applied to the ZyXEL NWAxxx and (i assume)
all other FIT ramips boards.

Best
David
