Both malta and maltael have the same behaviour. And yeah, for maltael i needed
the u-boot-swap.bin indeed! That was not that obvious at first but trial and
error showed it.

How are the tests performed? Are the actual u-boot images passed as compiled
with `-bios' to qemu and that alone? Or are the tests also sneaking in the FDT
to qemu? By f.e. appending them? Could the CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_CLEAR_ON_INIT
warning/error prevented a good build? I also get that with edminib2_defconfig
so I assumed some work is still in progress on that.
