Then you should send a series of patches, with the first patch fixing
the U-Boot hash issue, and the second patch adding the APF6 defconfig
with U-Boot support.

This way, we can clearly see the big picture and the dependencies
between your contributions.

OK. Having a genimage generated image for the "user data" part still
makes sense IMO.

Same thing, it would be a lot better if you were doing patch series
rather than individual patches that seem to be unrelated, but are in
fact inter-related.

Thanks!
