I suspected if it is a bug in update_llc_test_checks.py, but I didn't find time to look through. Maybe we can add `--allow-unused-prefixes=false` for these failed tests as a workaround?

I'm afraid when pepole change something and need to update the tests, the conflict will confuse them and may spend more time to know what happened. At least we need to remove

, though I think adding `--allow-unused-prefixes=false` seems better.
I'd like to see other reviewers opinions.
