I should have added a note like I usually do.

"KUnit resources are now refcounted to avoid passed in resources being
released while in use by kunit." is the reason why I made a call on
sending this request.

You are right that the second patch "Add support for named resources"
is a merge window content. However, my thinking is this could enable
writing more tests during 5.8 and these two patches are scoped
to just kunit.

Please feel free to delay it if you like. I will include them in for
next release.

thanks,
