Yes, we've been doing stable build/boot testing for awhile, here are a few examples from my boot farm:

Ah, great. Maxime indeed point me to these tests after seeing my e-mail. I was just surprised that 3.10 and 3.14 were not working.
After some investigation:
* 3.14 was not booting due to a DT issue around the internal register base address (depending on which bootloader version is used, the DT needs to be adjusted)
* 3.10 boots fine on the AX3 you use for testing, but not on some other Armada XP development platform, for a reason that I haven't found yet (latest mainline boots fine).
So none of these problems affect the AX3 used in the boot farm.
Thanks for your feedback, and for all the testing work!
