[Buildroot] uImage support for aarch64

Can anyone shed some light on why uImage with device tree is not a
supported format for the aarch64 architecture under Buildroot?  (see
the definition of BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_APPENDED_UIMAGE in linux/Config.in)

The appended uImage options in linux/Config.in seem to be dependent on
the BR2_arm or BR2_armeb.  In fact the base uImage format does not
appear to be supported for BR2_aarch64 at all.

Is this an oversight or is there a technical challenge to supporting
AARCH64 images in uImage format?

Thank you in advance,

- Chris
