Hi Shuicheng, The version used in StarlingX is from July 2017 which is pretty old, so my inclination is to suggest we upgrade to the latest. We need input/approval from the TLs (Brent & Saul). Let's discuss with them in the distro.other meeting tomorrow. I put this item on the agenda. I've asked Numan to send out the test-cases.

Could you help ask expert from WR to review it, and decide whether we prefer to upgrade it or not? If we choose to upgrade it, could you help share me the test case for QAT driver? Thanks.
