Since you used this board, perhaps you could remove the bit in the
post-build.sh script that generates boot.scr, and use
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOOT_SCRIPT instead ? Should be a separate patch of
course.

Sadly, this will not allow to remove completely post-build.sh, as it
needs a special AArch64 uImage for the kernel. But I wonder why this is
done in the post-build.sh script and not the post-image.sh script.

And the post-image.sh script can be refactored to use the common
genimage script :)
