Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] api: Rename IMAGE_TYPE to IMAGE_FSTYPES
Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2021 09:13:52 +0200

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The variable is renamed to get closer to OpenEmbedded/Poky
variables naming. If user still uses IMAGE_TYPE, it will be used
with the deprecation warning shown.
