Because two machines are more annoying, there’s no need.  This is what we had for generic-arm64 and qemu-generic-arm64 in meta-arm, but that was mainly because that also built TF-A/OP-TEE/EDK2, all of which is pointless in a real hardware environment. 

Arguably we could just always build u-boot for qemu and hope nobody gets confused with there being a u-boot binary in the deploy directory, but that feels like it’s asking for trouble.
