Aren't the testing actions expected from YP LTS users the same as for
any other YP user?

My understanding is that the hardware support provided by YP is just an 
example BSP mainly used by YP, and real-world project get their hardware 
support either from a 3rd party layer or from 3rd party git trees.

Isn't this more a topic for the 3rd party BSP layers that are actually 
providing this hardware support?
