scftorture: Count single_rpc offline failures in statistics outputgrafted
scf_torture_stats_print() aggregates each invoker thread's counters into a local scf_statistics structure before printing, but the n_single_rpc_ofl field is missing from the aggregation loop. As a result, the "single_rpc_ofl" value printed in the statistics line is always zero, even when smp_call_function_single() invocations for the RPC test have failed due to offline CPUs and been counted by the invoker threads. Add the missing accumulation so that the printed value reflects the actual counts. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

+
+Display Hardware Handling
+=========================
+
+This section covers everything related to the display hardware including
+the mode setting infrastructure, plane, sprite and cursor handling and
+display, output probing and related topics.

+
+KUnit Tests
+===========
+
+The VC4 Driver uses KUnit to perform driver-specific unit and
+integration tests.
+
+These tests are using a mock driver and can be ran using the
+command below, on either arm or arm64 architectures,
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
+ --kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/tests/.kunitconfig \
+ --cross_compile aarch64-linux-gnu- --arch arm64
+
+Parts of the driver that are currently covered by tests are:
+ * The HVS to PixelValve dynamic FIFO assignment, for the BCM2835-7
+ and BCM2711.
+
