It's not actually 90%. Around 125 out of 1000 test runs are failing on
the R5C boards I got here, so that makes it 87.5% which is pretty close
to the 87.9% of the 900/1024 figure there, hence I kept it 900 despite
your comment.

So quality should be assigned using the DT compatible, right?
And if needed we should have several of them, one for each SoC (if
testing now turns out to show that the results are specific for the SoC
rather than for the board).
