Heh, I also got tricked by this. You would think that could be done, but
as the defconfig doesn't build u-boot (no public sources) we cannot use
that option.

It doesn't really matter as the kernel gets built before the post-build
script runs (except for initramfs, but the genimage configuration
expects ext4).

If we are to introduce kconfig options for genimage (which will cause
genimage to be executed BEFORE the post-image script, then this uImage
handling must be in post-build so it is available for genimage.

Correct. I would prefer to first rework the genimage handling to make it
available in kconfig instead of such in-between solution.
