If you don't have the HW, how are you testing these patches...?

I think we will need a Tested-by: tag from someone(s) with both a family
C and D to get this series in, if you are unable to test things
yourself.

Please also do not submit anything if it has not been tested. Maybe it
was, but then please get that person's Tested-by and put them on
CC. Otherwise maintainers might merge this assuming it was tested, if
you got the reviews... It is a basic assumption that non-RFC stuff has
been tested when posted to the list.

Kind regards,
