This time I used our CI to test this series patch by patch on top of staging
today (Apr 17), so that we can see if the qemu issue reported by Bertrand
in v6 still persists.
I can confirm all boards including the qemu-arm64 passed this time, so:
Tested-by: Henry Wang <Henry.Wang@xxxxxxx>
Kind regards,
Henry
