Thanks a lot.

I installed the new kernel package and it seems it won't work as it's not
an U-Boot image as required but just a plain compressed kernel image:

root@tirpitz:~> file /boot/vmlinuz-6.11-rc5+unreleased-sh7785lcr 
/boot/vmlinuz-6.11-rc5+unreleased-sh7785lcr: Linux kernel
root@tirpitz:~>

My working custom kernel looks like this:

root@tirpitz:~> file /mnt/uImage-6.5.gz 
/mnt/uImage-6.5.gz: u-boot legacy uImage, Linux-6.5.0, Linux/SuperH, OS Kernel Image (gzip), 4421099 bytes, Fri May  3 11:48:38 2024, Load Address: 0X80001000, Entry Point: 0X80002000, Header CRC:
0X98EEB114, Data CRC: 0X2F5A3D34
