This looks good, thanks. Testing found a small issue:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/61/builds/733

(and many other similar failures)

It looks like its trying to run these tests on core-image-minimal which
doesn't have an ssh server and only gets tested over serial.

The tests need to be skipped there too, so there is some markup missing
from one of the tests as a quick guess.

Hopefully easy to reproduce and fix.

Cheers,

Richard
