unfortunately, we just simply integrate "Phoronix Test Suite" [1] into our
test framework, and for now we still keep on 9.4.1 version [2] since we don't
have enough bandwidth to do upgrade recently. and for svt-av1, we now use
2.11.1 version [3]. we don't have enough knowledge to dig deep for your
questions. sorry about this.
