Raspberry Pi does not use u-boot. Raspbian does not use u-boot. Their
proprietary bootloader can be forced to run u-boot, but its not worth it
- by using u-boot you're limiting yourself to armhf, and Raspberry Pi3
is an aarch64 board.

Consider installing a proper Debian first the way it's outlined at [1].
Booting a custom kernel will be as easy as adding an another entry to
grub.cfg.
