Hello Srini,

I think what you are looking for is the fitimage, it will allow you to bundle 
the kernel and devicetree together in a single file and it also allows you add 
a signature.

This process is well integrated in yocto, from what I remember activating the 
fitimage is relatively easy:
   - in your machine.conf
       - declare KERNEL_CLASSES += "kernel-fitimage" and KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = 
"fitimage"
   - in your u-boot defconfig (configs/yourboard_defconfig
       - enable CONFIG_FIT=y
   - in your config include/configs/your_board.h change the script to boot your 
fitimage

I hope this helps,

Regards,

Mathieu
