RFC: Adding new system, quanta-q71l

[Patrick Venture]

HI;

My team is actively engaged now in producing Qemu support for new
devices and boards, and I previously worked on the quanta-q71l board
for OpenBmc.  I'm currently fixing up the configuration to build
again, and I'd like to introduce a board for it in Aspeed.  The
palmetto doesn't really represent it, there's only 128MiB of RAM for
it, for instance, and it has its own idiosyncrasies.

To introduce a new board to the Aspeed Qemu, do I also need to send
over a firmware for acceptance testing?

Thanks,
Patrick

No but it's always better for non regression tests.  

Simply send a patch like : 

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/patch/20210407171637.777743-19-clg@kaod.org/

I will queue it.

Thanks,
