The default image uses a squashfs with an attached ext4 fs. I want to use squashfs + f2fs instead. May need adding the f2fs kmod into package list.

Here the hidden f2fs is mentioned. In this post overlay FS is also appears to be f2fs. According to the doc, if I got it right, it should be JFFS2.

I expected something like Image/mkfs/f2fs and other related steps in the include/image.mk.

Yes it looks like if I use the squashfs images, then it uses f2fs automatically. Based on the documentation to sysupgrade it should work for upgrades too, I just haven't tested it thoroughly yet.
