So, on a Pi 3 (rpi_3_defconfig) I see this now (and it passes normally):

=================================== short test summary info
===================================
If I disable that test, it moves on to failing the same exact way for
grub. If I disable the grub test too. After that, oh, a bunch of other
tests get skipped because CMD_NET and similar aren't enabled now, and
the tests are wrong. I'll post that as another patch by itself. After
correcting for that, we're seemingly noticeably slower as I need to
increase the timeout for tftp'ing my 83MiB FIT image I use for kernel
testing. We no longer have the estimated speed message, so I can't as
easily say how much slower it is. After increasing the timeout, the
kernel boot test does work.
I can note that normally it takes ~18ms to get a dhcp reply, but with
lwIP it's now 132ms, and previously the kernel loaded at 2.7MiB/s
(which, not great) but if that has a similar level of slowdown, could
well explain it.
