Give the test result before speaking too much.
Which concrete data do you expect here?
Depends on the result.
How can this vary?
The bottom line is that you run your patched kernel on the real hardware
Which test configurations would you trust finally?
or equivalent (VM or emulation) for the device you touched.
Can all the devices for which I dared to adjust their source code a bit tested in desired ways within virtual machines?
Run your patched kernel and the driver code on the real machine with the corresponding device. Show the device is running. That's the very first step. Then follow the more detailed tests, but it depends on the subsystem.
How can such descriptions improve the trust situation?
