I was afraid you would say that, and yes you are right, it is duplicative.

With my lab I am trying to use Labgrid's configuration and not need
anything else. For example, the params on how to launch QEMU and where
to find the OS file are there, rather than in u-boot-test-hooks. It
allows me to run a session interactively just as easily (and with the
same flow) as I run the pytests and gitlab.

In my lab, I actually don't have any Python things, apart from what I
added for that tftp test.

I wonder if I could create a way to pass the env__ stuff in from Labgrid?

Regards,
Simon
