I am curious, what this means exactly? You clone the Ubuntu Linux 5.16 
kernel source, and then apply your patches on top? (Do they even apply?)

The same for Chrome OS. Do you use Chrome OS Flex [1] with the systems 
you listed? If not, what Google Chromebooks/-boxes did you test with? 
The Linux kernel version is also tied for a device and Chrome OS 
release. Please mention those too.

Is it documented somewhere, what tests you run exactly?


Kind regards,

Paul
