So maybe it would be better to go with the newer kernels that you suggested. What bootloader are you using? Is it the existing U-boot from the Kobo or are you building a newer u-boot-imx from NXP's sources?
I am using the plain kobo bootloader. It has some pitfalls, but you can work around them or patch them away. Basically, you have to call load_ntxkernel and then overwrite that using the standard load command.

There is also the branch e60k02 at git://git.goldelico.com/letux-uboot.git
which has some of the pitfalls removed. I need to check which configuration was used. I think it is mx6sll_ntx_lpddr2_512m_defconfig
My setup (including dualboot) is described at https://misc.andi.de1.cc/kobo
