I think that sounds like a good strategy for now, and we can work on a set of 'generic helpers' which have an associated bus and struct kunit_device in the meantime. If we can continue to use root_device_register until those are ready, that'd be very convenient.
Would it be a tiny bit more acceptable if we did add a very simple:
#define kunit_root_device_register(name) root_device_register(name) #define kunit_root_device_unregister(dev) root_device_unregister(dev)
to include/kunit/device.h (or somesuch)
This should help us later to at least spot the places where root_device_[un]register() is abused and (potentially mass-)covert them to use the proper helpers when they're available.
Great idea.
The code I've been playing with has the following in include/kunit/device.h:
/* Register a new device against a KUnit test. */ struct device *kunit_device_register(struct kunit *test, const char *name); /* Unregister a device created by kunit_device_register() early (i.e., before test cleanup). */ void kunit_device_unregister(struct kunit *test, struct device *dev);
If we used the same names, and just forwarded them to root_device_register() and root_device_unregister() for now (discarding the struct kunit pointer), then I expect we could just swap out the implementation to gain the extra functionality.
There's one thing though. If the goal is to do a direct replacement and if automatic device deletion upon test completion / test abort is planned - then it should be there also for these initial wrappers.
If these wrappers don't yet include the automatic device clean-up - then it probably makes more sense to just do the kunit_root_device_* defines because the tests are likely to need removing the explicit device clean-ups when proper APIs are finished.
