Hi I'm not sure we are on the same page here, the Kirkwood has an internal bootROM which can only boot an image if this image is wrapped by a specific header.
The do_image should take the u-boot bin and wrap it with this header. How do u suggest we will support this header generation for the U-Boot?

The questions remain if this makes sense, and if this should be added to mainline. >From what I've seen from your image processing code, this looks largely redundant do already existing features, and I see little sense to add board-specific variants for everybody who wants to define his own private "standard" instead of using existing code.
