Hi, I use `mender-artifact` in Yocto and notice that the `type` field in `type-info` is empty:
```auto
{
"type":"",
...
}
```
Shouldn’t that be `rootfs-image`? For other artifacts, e.g. `single-file`, it is correct. If this behavior is intented, is there any other good way to get the artifact type from the header?

Hi @hesmar,
By “in yocto” you mean that you’re using the canonical workflow as provided by `meta-mender`? Or a custom invocation of `mender-artifact`?
Greets,

We use `meta-mender` as part of the (modified) [tegra-demo-distro](https://github.com/OE4T/tegra-demo-distro/tree/kirkstone-l4t-r32.7.x) but I could also reproduce the issue by invoking `mender-artifact` manually.
