Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 20acf4dd46e4c090 ("char: misc: make miscdevice unit test built-in only") in char-misc-next.

bool "miscdevice KUnit test" if !KUNIT_ALL_TESTS depends on KUNIT default KUNIT_ALL_TESTSThis means "default y" if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=m, which is IMHO not what we want.
The precedent for other kunit config options that are bool is that they use "default KUNIT_ALL_TESTS".
Seems like you are right. Looks like none of the boolean ones can be enabled on m68k, which is where I run most of the tests, so I never noticed before :-(
It makes sense that if you choose to build all tests, you would not skip the ones that cannot be built as a module.
You can still enable the test manually if you want. But I think it should not be enabled by default when all other tests that can be modular are built as modules. Unlike for modular tests, enabling builtin tests by default does impact the base kernel.
Perhaps
default KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y?
