    There are more complex cases, I'm just not sure how good an idea
    backporting them.

    Obviously it'd be good to improve the test coverage, but I think that's
    something that needs doing before backporting loads of stuff rather than
    after. For this automated stuff I'd much rather see positive
    confirmation that the change had been tested on relevant systems (not
    just something with a similar SoC), especially on the edges where we're
    getting to board specific things.
