Probably not,
/usr/share/doc/packages/u-boot-starfivevisionfive2-doc/starfive/visionfive2.rst
says

Do we also ship this script somewhere? Or might we directly ship
u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out? Later it suggests

So u-boot.itb can apparently replace visionfive2_fw_payload.img despite being a
lot smaller?
