Sorry I should have sent this as RFC.

Right, I thought it might not be worth implementing fallback
functions if there is no MIPS hardware on which this test can be
run.  Still it would be a shame to leave i-g-t failing to build
on MIPS.

This issue was actually hit while building the KernelCI root file
system with i-g-t tests.  We're starting to add some MIPS
platforms, so running the generic DRM/KMS tests on them might
start to make sense at some point (cc khilman).

And yes I guess it seems worth considering adding MIPS to
Gitlab-CI as it only appears to be covering x86, armhf and
arm64 (although I did fix an armhf build issue a few weeks ago).

Thanks, I agree that does look like a sustainable way forward.
We don't quite have a MIPS platform to test that yet in KernelCI,
so hopefully QEMU can be used to test a fallback implementation.

I guess adding placeholder functions as in your example with
igt_assert_f() statements would just add some technical debt with
little added benefit, so I'll work on a v2 with something that
works.  Meanwhile we'll just skip i-g-t KernelCI builds on MIPS.
