Yes, my testing should catch most issues with any patches, although 
there are still some coverage holes:

1) I don't test cold boot; U-boot is always loaded over USB RCM which 
may hide bugs specific to cold booting.

2) I only test on a few HW platforms (beaver, dalmore, Jetson TK1, 
p2371-0000, Jetson TX1)

3) Obviously I don't test the new features introduced by this patch; 
chain-loading.
