We've evolved a bit of that over the time, see:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gfx-ci/drm-ci/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci/bare-metal/cros_servo_run.py#L94

It tends to be a bit specific to the runners and their quirks.  But
mesa does a lot of CI runs, so once-in-a-blue-moon quirks quickly turn
frustrating if the CI machinery doesn't detect them, and (for ex)
reboot and restart the DUT

BR,
-R
