Dear Dimitri, it is unclear to me why U-Boot should have any influence on the (non-)inclusion of a driver in the initramfs. Could you, please, add the missing information.
There is no guarantee that any update of U-Boot runs after the kernel change. A user can choose only to update the kernel. They could even run a custom U-Boot. Please avoid linking the kernel upgrade to any assumptions about U-Boot.
