Why not including your own rpi-update clone that download a compiled firmware from your repository?

That is a very good idea! I haven't thought of that possibility.
I will look into it for the next release.

Did you do each step: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki#install ?
Failing to first update rpi-update, or not using REPO_URI would result in loosing fbtft support. In other words, you would be installing the default kernel.

rpi-update updates itself when run, but fails to honour REPO_URI the first time, hence the need to update it manually.

Solved... re updated and now is ok.
I have made e script to do that
#/bin/bash
rm -fr /lib/modules/$(uname -r).bak
mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r) /lib/modules/$(uname -r).bak
export REPO_URI=https://github.com/notro/rpi-firmware
rpi-update
