[yocto] [PATCH] [yocto-autobuilder2] Add nightly-x86-64-bsp job to enable BSP HW Testcase

[Richard Purdie]

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for this. I think this made it clear we needed an extensions
mechanism for yocto-autobuilder-helper (note this patch is against
yocto-autobuilder-helper, not yocto-autobuilder2).

I've just pushed a change to yocto-autobuilder2 which should allow it
to load extra json files instead of the standard config.json.

What I'd propose is we add a config-intel-qa.json file there and that
we add these extra definitions to that file (or maybe a config-intel-
lava-qa.json?).

Right now the simplistic logic in loadconfig() won't allow the simple
addition/replacement of an entry within a dict/list but that is
something which should be easily fixed.

I am rather worried about this meta-minnow repository. We ideally want
to test the artefacts the standard system builds, not change their
configuration. It looks like the layer simply builds an extra kernel
module. Is there a reason we can't enable upstream in the kernels?

Also, "meta-minnow" is a very confusing name for what is a very
specific purpose layer related to lava automated testing. The README in
the layer is also incomplete/inaccurate.

Can you have a look at the above and see if you think we can rework
this as above and possibly drop meta-minnow entirely?

Cheers,

Richard
