The override is in bitbake.conf, namely:

KERNEL_FILE ?= "vmlinuz"
KERNEL_FILE:mipsel ?= "vmlinux"
KERNEL_FILE:riscv64 ?= "vmlinux"
KERNEL_FILE:arm64 ?= "vmlinux"

It is hard to explain why this is needed and probably other downstream
targets stumble upon this as well. How about keeping it as-is, but
change the definition in bitbake.conf by using an anonymous function
(untested)?

E.g.

KERNEL_FILE = "${@'vmlinux' if d.getVar('DISTRO_ARCH') in ['mipsel',
'riscv64', 'arm64'] else 'vmlinuz'}"

Best regards,
