>> From Linaroâs validation farm we have the following test results for this 4.9.54-rc1. TI's 32 bit arm board the X15 is a new addition. Also this time around more of LTP is being run. There is triage to do and youâll notice that Iâm differentiating between âknown failuresâ and âfailuresâ in the data below. The later obviously will get looked at so we can graduate failures to known failures/fixes and improve finding regressions. (Anyone want to help?) In summary I wouldnât hold up 4.9.54 based on the failures in the new data below. Given itâs a Sat, the Mrs has plans, Iâve no time to do further digging until later.

So the header in that report was wrong. That's a c/n/p error on my
part. I was in a rush to get you data before I was going to be gone
for the day on Sat and wanting to get what we had into your hands
before the Sunday deadline.

The test results was for the RC as of commit
0e59436504287cddb9663857ae69c100b55f5e85

If you want to see the 'ugly' raw data it's all here :
