Is, that the reason of adding the boot script by your last patches?
If, yes then it's not needed. Odroid supports mainline kernel booting.

Just put kernel image and fdt file with it's proper (default) name to 
boot partition and wait for autoboot command to execute. This just work 
with defaults.

Also you can use itb image, to have a single boot image.
