The flake issues I see are like this:

https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-dm/-/jobs/202441

I am not sure of the cause, but it would be good to fix it!

Re the network issues, I have a persistent DNS problem with my
network. I am really not sure of the root cause but sometimes it will
fail to find a host, then succeed 5 seconds later. I spent some time
on it a few weeks ago but will try again.
