I very much appreciate that your repo makes the test automation on
Travis CI possible. But when looking at your repo I could not find any
file that helped me to get qemu running U-Boot on my system.

When I read a documentation I do not want to be handed over to a repo
where I get lost and which adds another level of external reference:
"The example scripts depend on various external tools, the installation
location of which must be specified in the board configuration files:
As-yet-unpublished scripts to control various USB relay boards."

Sure you are free to use my examples to update your repo to provide
something more accessible. But this does not obsolete this patch.

Best regards
