KUnit tests often need to provide a struct device, and thus far have mostly been using root_device_register() or platform devices to create a 'fake device' for use with, e.g., code which uses device-managed resources. This has several disadvantages, including not being designed for test use, scattering files in sysfs, and requiring manual teardown on test exit, which may not always be possible in case of failure.
Instead, introduce a set of helper functions which allow devices (internally a struct kunit_device) to be created and managed by KUnit -- i.e., they will be automatically unregistered on test exit. These helpers can either use a user-provided struct device_driver, or have one automatically created and managed by KUnit. In both cases, the device lives on a new kunit_bus.
This is a follow-up to a previous proposal here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230325043104.3761770-1-davidgow@go...
(The kunit_defer() function in the first patch there has since been merged as the 'deferred actions' feature.)
My intention is to take this whole series in via the kselftest/kunit branch, but I'm equally okay with splitting up the later patches which use this to go via the various subsystem trees in case there are merge conflicts.
