We can try ;-) , but I think I'll need some pointers how this should be done.

On first glance, test/overlay/* seems to be a good inspiration. Aka the new
function relies on an opaque OP-TEE binary modifying the .itb's dt-blob
between SPL and main-U-Boot, so working with stub devicetrees for
testing seems reasonable.

Aka checking cases of optee-nodes in old_fdt and not having them.

Looking at the README though points me to "TODO: convert to pytest" it
seems. Though that README.md only talks about interacting with the
u-boot console, so I'm not sure how that should work.


Thanks
Heiko
