Kernel-ci seems interesting. Yet, 1/3 of the Kernel patches are drivers.
At least for media stuff, IMO, CI is too far away from our needs, as one
would need some real hardware to do some testing stuff (like for example, 
some webcams and some ways to check if the webcam support is actually
working). To make it worse, there are a wide variety of different hardware
with different features and their quirk needs. I suspect that similar
troubles would affect sound devices as well.

It could be worth to have some discussions with CI people with regards
to how it can better cope with driver's subsystem needs.

Thanks,
Mauro
