[yocto] Cannot use any TEST_TARGET besides simpleremote or qemu

[Paulo Neves]

Hello

I am trying to create my own test controller. After copy pasting and
adapting the skeleton from BeagleBoneTarget to
$MYLAYER/lib/oeqa/controllers I set the appropriate TEST_TARGET.

When I run the testimage task I always have errors like in [1]. The
actual keyword that is unexpected changes from invocation to
invocation. There was a similar error previously reported in this
mailing list but the presented solution was to actually stop using the
TEST_TARGET variable, which is not applicable.

I have tried setting TEST_TARGET to any of the proposed options in the
manual [2] and the same unhelping error shows. I know that some of
that these controller targets, are not appropriate for my target
(odroid [cortex-arm15]), but the errors seems to not be related to any
functionality or these boards.

I have analyzed and cannot really understand also how all the example
targets classes have a constructor which takes the d variable, while
the context.py call has some more variables including a dictionary,
kwargs, which does not actually have the d variable.

I am not interested in anything qemu in this case.
