Ack, understood. I will do that, one clarification though. Currently, the tests are using either PASS or FAIL and no SKIP. Based on the above suggestion, it seems that I have replace FAIL with XFAIL for all the tests that fail due to functionality not being supported by the underlying driver. Please confirm if my understanding is correct and I will send a v6 of the series in accordance with netdev patch submission guidelines. ---
