Hmm... I'm not quite sure I understand the case that's broken here. Is it:
- KUnit is built as a module (CONFIG_KUNIT=m)
- USB4/nitro_enclaves are also built as modules, with the test enabled.
- The kunit module is not available at runtime, so neither driver
module can load (due to missing kunit dependencies)

If so, that's not a case (i.e., the kunit.ko module being unavailable
if it was built) we've tried to support thus far. I guess a de-facto
rule for supporting it would be to depend on KUNIT=y for any KUnit
tests which are built into the same module as the driver they're
testing.

Alternatively, maybe we could do some horrible hacks to compile stub
versions of various KUnit assertion symbols in unconditionally, which
forward to the real ones if KUnit is available.

(Personally, I'd love it if we could get rid of CONFIG_KUNIT=m
altogether, and it's actually broken right at the moment[1]. There are
still some cases (unloading / reloading KUnit with different filter
options) which require it, though.)

This can probably just:
depends on KUNIT=y
