BUGS

If your bug relates to a specific type of device, please include all configuration details for that device type as well as the job submission and as much of the LAVA test job log file as you can (e.g. as a compressed file attached to the bug report).

If your device type is not one found on existing LAVA instances, please supply as much information as you can on the board itself.
