Specifically, it lacks ec755d2524fcbd9dfded23a576f25c990d405a6c <http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=ec755d2524fcbd9dfded23a576f25c990d405a6c> which is only submitted to master.  From https://www.mail-archive.com/yocto@yoctoproject.org/msg31779.html <https://www.mail-archive.com/yocto@yoctoproject.org/msg31779.html>, it looks like those changes will show up in the upcoming 2.2.

Currently, kernel-fitimage.bbclass only stores an uncompressed initramfs which is problematic for the SoC I'm working on.  In short, even once 2.2 is released, fitImage w/ initramfs may not quite work for you yet.
