Hi Apeksha, Hemant,

Is it possible to send a test report for this new PMD [1]?

Since this is a new PMD, and only vendor can test it, it will be good to
record what features tested on which platform and what is the result.
Otherwise we are completely blind on the status of this new piece of code.

Some sample test results to help you:

And if possible a tested platform patch would be great,
something like following,
