Research direction
Start by reading the FIT specification at https://fitspec.osfw.foundation/ and compare its kernel and DTB packaging model with oreboot's planned DTFS support. No source files, tests, or entry points are named, so the first step is to locate existing image-format and device-tree handling. Done means FIT payload support is defined and implemented, including a clear validation path.
