IIRC, uImage.fit.initrd.% should appear before uImage.fit.% in the
Makefile so that make behaves more consistently. =A0Speaking of which,
the number of '.' in the name is getting rather large. =A0Would you
consider using 'fitImage' instead of 'uImage.fit'?

Why chose a different name at all? We could still call it "uImage",
meaning "U-Boot image" - U-Boot is clever enought o detect
automatically if we pass it an old style or a fit image.

Simply because arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile needs different target names
to decide which kind of image to build.  I don't care much about the
name, it can always be renamed at install time, but I do care that the
make build targets are sane.
