I think the simplest change would be to say API changes SHOULD have driver-agnostic testcases, with the RFC 2119 meaning of SHOULD: SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course. I.e. s/need/should/. I think it also catches the spirit of the discussion here; seems like everyone agrees having tests is a good goal. You'll have to allow for reviewer/maintainer/community discretion no matter what. Judging by the discussion, CRC based tests don't currently meet the driver-agnostic requirement. Playing devil's advocate, you could argue any new APIs couldn't be tested with CRC either, even if it were the most reasonable approach for i915.
