This is because QEMU generates a device tree blob on the fly based on the
command line parameters and it's compatible with the one used in the upstream
Linux kernel.

+When U-Boot v2020.01 (or higher) is used as the payload, as the SiFive FU540
+DTB for the real hardware is embedded in U-Boot binary itself, due to the same
+reason above, we need to switch the U-Boot sifive_fu540_defconfig configuration
+from CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE to CONFIG_OF_PRIOR_STAGE so that U-Boot uses the DTB
+generated by QEMU, and u-boot.bin should be used as the payload image, like:
+
+```
+make PLATFORM=sifive/fu540 FW_PAYLOAD_PATH=<u-boot_build_dir>/u-boot.bin
