I tried this series, minus the -dev kernel change in -next and we see:

https://autobuilder.yocto.io/builders/nightly-oe-selftest/builds/676/steps/Running%20oe-selftest/logs/stdio

The duplicate logging bug makes it hard to read but the key takeaway is:

2017-12-09 10:49:53,667 - oe-selftest - INFO - Ran 317 tests in 14099.939s
2017-12-09 10:49:53,667 - oe-selftest - INFO -  (failures=16, skipped=1)

I can reproduce easily with:

oe-selftest -r runqemu.RunqemuTests.test_boot_deploy

which fails locally too. If I revert "linux-yocto/4.12: update to
v4.12.16" it works.

The test checks if it can login over the serial port so I'm guessing
some serial driver either got turned off or regressed?

Cheers,

Richard
