You need newer oe-core with this commit and KEEPUIMAGE set to "no"

commit 72a7049526ee107005bd39c7bdd814ed71345829
Author: Koen Kooi <k...@dominion.thruhere.net>

    kernel bbclass: Recreate uImage only when KEEPUIMAGE != "yes"

    The intent of the uImage code in this class includes the following

    1) be able to specify custom load addresses without needing to patch the 
kernel
    2) add better information to the uImage description field

    The current state is a NOP anyway, the kernel will always build a uImage 
when you tell it to 'make uImage'.

    weakly Set KEEPUIMAGE to 'yes' in default-distrovars.inc which preserve the
    current OE-Core behavior. Machines which are being ported from oe.dev and 
need to
    regenerate uImage can set this to be empty
