Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] selftests: drv-net: so_txtime: remember to deploy the binaries

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 10:33:04 -0700

The test seems to be written with a single-host loopback
in mind. We need to deploy the binary to remote before
we run it. This is just fixing an obvious issue, but
more work will be needed to make the dual-host setup
work reliably. Most of the runs still fail with:

  FAIL: start time already passed
