I haven't been closely following IGT testing strategy lately, but you
asked me to have a look at this regardless, so I did. I'm not going to
comment on the details in this series or review it. The only question
is, if the driver decides to incorrectly use non-UHBR SST on a UHBR SST
capable sink, who is going to notice? Or if it works now, and breaks
later, is some test going to fail instead of skip?


BR,
Jani.
