You are right. I rephrased that to:

	  Support using Flattened Image Tree (FIT) Images. FIT is an image
	  format introduced by U-Boot. A FIT image contains one or multiple
	  kernels, device trees and initrds. The FIT image itself is a flattened
	  device tree binary. Have a look at the u-boot source tree
	  in the "doc/uImage.FIT" folder for more information:
	  http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=tree;f=doc/uImage.FIT

Does that sound ok?
