This one is tricky. We shouldn't break existing users but this is a 
patch that isn't backward compatible as we would require users to set 
the RK_KERNEL_FITIMAGE variable to match the modifications they made to 
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE/KERNEL_CLASSES in their own machine configuration file 
based on the SoC machine include file. Can you tell us more about what 
is broken before this is backported? Maybe there's another way to 
implement a fix without breaking backward compatibility.

(the commit listed in the commit log) returns the first whinlatter tag, 
so should be fine to backport.

Yes, but not by potentially breaking existing users, so special care 
needs to be taken. This is not a worry when we're working on the master.
