If the code changes in tests to handle this are only a few lines as here, it's probably not worth doing. Also, this particular case can't be handled in meson.build, since it has a runtime as well as a build time dependency. For example, a build could include the DLB2 eventdev driver and so the test would run on systems with that hardware, but if the SW eventdev fallback is not built, then it fails to run on hardware without. That sort of situation, build-time dependencies can't handle. /Bruce
