Couldn't we simply use the kernel tree "make uImage" rule, and put the
uImage in the kernel binary packages, rather than reduplicating this
elsewhere?  Of course, which kernel tree targets to build may then
become board-specific, which might be seen as a disadvantage.

I've tended to treat the kernel tree rule as the canonical way of
generating a valid uImage, though maybe not everyone will agree with
that.

Cheers
