Quickly had a look at labgrid, looks like it is using similar method to 
control devices with using configuration files, in this case, target 
controller is common, with using different type of YAML config files, it 
can control different devices. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I think the key point of this ticket is to run Ptest on hardware devices 
automatically and make it as common as possible for Yocto. So, no matter 
using LAVA or labgrid, the devices being controlled need to be publicly 
accessible and maintained well.

Do you have examples similar to this ticket can share with us?
