This is part of an effort to improve detection of regressions impacting device probe on all platforms. The recently merged DT kselftest [1] detects probe issues for all devices described statically in the DT. That leaves out devices discovered at run-time from discoverable busses.
This is where this test comes in. All of the devices that are connected through discoverable busses (ie USB and PCI), and which are internal and therefore always present, can be described in a per-platform file so they can be checked for. The test will check that the device has been instantiated and bound to a driver.
Patch 1 introduces the test. Patch 2 adds the test definitions for the google,spherion machine (Acer Chromebook 514) as an example.
This is the sample output from the test running on Spherion:
TAP version 13 Using board file: boards/google,spherion 1..10 ok 1 usb.camera.0.device ok 2 usb.camera.0.driver ok 3 usb.camera.1.device ok 4 usb.camera.1.driver ok 5 usb.bluetooth.0.device ok 6 usb.bluetooth.0.driver ok 7 usb.bluetooth.1.device ok 8 usb.bluetooth.1.driver ok 9 pci.wifi.device ok 10 pci.wifi.driver Totals: pass:10 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
