Consider passing -j1 to fluster and using patience, this will spare some memory.
You can also increase the timeout (like -t 60), that often helps when CMA is
involved (due to software conversion happening). Thanks for the serious testing,
this is really appreciated that your submission really reflects the state.

> 
> V3 of this series has several changes:
> 
> Update imx8m_vpu_hw to add missing 'reg' reference names for G2 and include references to VP9
> Update device tree to remove IMX8MQ_VPU_RESET, remove some duplicate vpu clock parenting
> Fix missing reg-names from vpu_g2 node.
> Apply patch [1] to manage the power domains powering down.

This matches my results on imx8mq.

> ./fluster.py run -d GStreamer-VP8-V4L2SL-Gst1.0
> Ran 55/61 tests successfully               in 8.080 secs

Idem.

> 
> G2:
> ./fluster.py run -d GStreamer-VP9-V4L2SL-Gst1.0
> Ran 127/303 tests successfully               in 203.873 secs

Benjamin reports 129, it could be flux. This is still a bit early, hence the low
score. But most streams do playback normally.

> Fluster and G-Streamer were both built from their respective git repos using their respective master/main branches.

That gave me an idea, I'll try and print the GStreamer version/commit inside
fluster along with fluster own commit (ideally in the short summary).
