Hi Quentin,

I discovered that OpenWRT is still using the legacy U-Boot image file
format script [1], too.
And the `source` command for executing this type script also requires
 `CONFIG_LEGACY_IMAGE_FORMAT=y` [2].

Therefore, CONFIG_LEGACY_IMAGE_FORMAT=y is still required in many
open-source projects.
(Actually, Armbian also used the legacy U-Boot image file format script)
