sorry for introducing confusion.   I misread the documenation on IMD as
"of_compatible and model will be figured out and put into the
proper  location by barebox".  What's your opinion on adding some
documentation for "imd_used" in (user/imd.rst)?  So I may try to
produce a meaningful  a patch for that.

Or is this out of scope (at least in this context)?


Best regards,
Thorsten
