You need to append a dtb and then encode in u-boot's uImage format.
e.g.
cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-ts419-6281.dtb > x
sudo mkimage -A arm -T kernel -O linux -C none -a 0x8000 -e 0x8000 -d x uImage
Now the uImage file ought to be bootable with `bootm`, load it to
0x800000 and an initrd (if using one) to 0xa00000 then `bootm
0x800000`.
Be sure to pick the correct dtb variant for your board, it might boot
with the wrong one but you'll potentially be missing some peripherals
etc.
