Hi,
At Linaro we run mainline/linux-next selftests on LTS releases and run into few test failures due to kernel mismatch or missing upstream functionality in older kernels. Discussed at length here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/15/652
This patch series is an attempt to modify selftest firmware test scripts. The proposed changes skip/ignore testing the upstream functionality missing in the older kernel releases.
Regards, Amit Pundir
