Or just a single ext[234] partition. also works. No need to mess with
fat.

uImage in /boot/ if using a single ext* partition.

not really needed for booting 3.4 kernel without initrd.

and for most uses uEnv.txt is easier to deal with, for example if you
want to name your kernel uImage-3.4.43-sun7i then you only need an
uEnv.txt (in /boot or fat partition) with only

	kernel=uImage-3.4.43-sun7i

Yes that is needed.
