This is dependent on the boot method used by the board. Here we use a
boot script. But other than that can use e.g. extlinux. I think this
is not a candidate we can make generically.

This calls the genimage. This could be removed and added directly into
the defconfig as BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT.

Here I', not sure. Because it depends on the used bootmethod how the
image should look like. E.g. do we need to have a boot partion on not.
