We noticed that some variants of sc7280 herobrine boards didnt boot but 
some did atleast till linux 6.8 rc-6. I have not tested linux 6.9 rc-1 yet.

We did not narrow down which change broke some of the boards, I can go 
back and confirm if its this one next week.

hmm, wifi worked alright on 6.8 rc-6 for us.

Can Maulik help us do that?

Yes, so we have been using sc7280 herobrine devices even till the last 
cycle and quite a bit of feature development was actually done on that.

It was the only device having eDP other than sc8280xp till x1e80100 
landed last cycle.

I do want to start using sc8280xp as well because from the experience we 
got, it has more visibility in terms of users. So that will address my 
eDP concern.

But, the nice thing about chromebooks is we really like to use them for 
IGT development / CI debug as CrOS provides a nice environment to 
cros-deploy IGT.

We can continue to use sc7180 for IGT development but if we want to 
debug issues with eDP + IGT, sc7280 is a really useful platform for that.

sc8280xp or x1e80100 is not a CrOS supported device. So we will have to 
develop and test IGT directly on the device (which is a bit of a pain) 
unless someone has a better way of "cross-compilation" for IGT on 
non-CrOS images.
