The previous workaround for the unsupported mkimage xz compression
leads to the TP-Link TL-WDR4900s simpleImage bootwrapper being gzip
compressed, which does not fit the kernel partition.

Removing the uImage gerneration works around this problem.

- method
-
-Due to CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ symbol, the bootwrapper code tries to
-instruct the mkimage to use the xz compression, which isn't
-supported. This patch forces the gzip compression, which is
-supported and doesn't matter because the generated uImage for
-the apm821xx target gets ignored as the OpenWrt toolchain will
-do separate U-Boot kernel images for each device individually.
