[meta-freescale] [Question] IMAGE_FSTYPES has no effect on master

Hello,

Up until krogoth, I could adjust IMAGE_FSTYPES in my local.conf to generate
various types of archives:

    IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 tar.gz"

However, I've noticed that this has no effect on master, and only wic.gz
archives are generated.

The only relevant piece of information I came across was the following commit:

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-3rdparty/commit/038b0b737f55ebd2cbc29c91c8274fed422142d4

Any thoughts on how I could generate other image types on master, like I used to
on krogoth?

(I need a tar.gz or tar.bz2 so that I can un-tar them with sudo so that all the
files and directories have correct permissions. Because the files and folders
generated by bitbake in this directory
{YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/work/wandboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/{IMAGE}/1.0-r0/rootfs
are owned by a regular user and when booting over NFS, those permissions cause
trouble.)

Thanks,
Amin
