This kind of detail is important to document in the cover letter,
including a bit more detail on how to reproduce so that other can help
test or may have ideas for how to solve.

I don't expect you to be able to test on all SoCs, but just to list what
SoCs and which boards you tested on.  This way, those who have other
boards can help test and we can have a better idea of how this was
tested before merging.

Thanks,
