According to my understanding,
there are two kernels somewhere and you want to choose kernel according to boot partition, right?
Is there u-boot into boot partition? AFAIK, maybe there is some bl images, not u-boot.
Does it impossible to implement something in bl image?

If you need to add this behavior, adding new command is better than modifying partconf.
