[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] Check for available outputs

[Gupta, Nidhi1]

Thanks for the review Chris, what I am trying to do is to execute 
subtest only on the available output not on all, as all the tests which 
I grouped together are dual display tests so I merged them together , 
can you suggest some way to achieve the same if not using dynamic subtest?

There needs to be much strongly guidelines on when to use dynamic.
Subtests by another name is not ideal.

These are definitely not all the same test, labelling them as minor variations of the same theme is ridiculous.

You are trying to work around a "problem" caused by another tool.
