cuImage was implemented specifically for compatibility with old boards
with old U-Boots that don't support device trees.  If you want to use it
for anything else, you're on your own.  It relies on an old, very
fragile and non-extensible interface for passing information from U-Boot
to Linux.

Could you make it work?  Probably.  Should you?  No.
