Rewrite the kernel-fitimage.bbclass file in Python. This allows the reuse of the new fitimage Python library and a clear alignment of the two implementations. Actually, the motivation for an implementation in Python was different. During the transition from the kernel-fitimage.bbclass to the new linux-yocto-fitimage.bb, the existing shell code was rewritten in Python so that the fitimage.py library could be extracted. The new kernel-fit-image.bbclass and linux-yocto-fitimage.bb were then developed on this basis. This approach makes it possible to run the same tests for all different implementations: - kernel-fitimage.bbclass in Shell - kernel-fitimage.bbclass in Python - linux-yocto-fitimage.bb Changing the commit order now enables a smooth transition. The two implementations can coexist. Maintenance and testing should be feasible for a few months with reasonable effort as they share most of the code. But of course, the goal is to remove the kernel-fitimage.bbclass as soon as possible. This commit opens the path for different strategies going forward: - Just replace the old implementations with the new one and ignoring this commit. - Add the new implementation and keep the old implementation without any change. - Add the new implementation and this commit and support the old architecture sharing most of the code with the new architecture and implementatiion.
