This test runs U-Boot on the Raspberry Pi 2.

U-Boot is built by the Debian project, see:

We already have a u-boot submodule in roms/

I guess it makes sense to just build & ship our own binaries
instead of downloading them from Debian?

Your comment made me realize I pasted the wrong link, I meant this one:
https://wiki.debian.org/U-boot/Status

Maybe the commit description is not clear enough. I don't want to test U-Boot, I want to test all future QEMU releases with this particular pre-built binary, which has been:
1/ built with the proper configuration for the board
2/ tested by someone from the Debian project on physical hardware.

(Goal: catch regressions in QEMU).

The source is available, with build scripts, and reproducible builds:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/u-boot/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml
