I liked tips.rst, but I agree we should probably remove it for the
sake of deduping.

The only blocker in my mind is we're missing an equivalent of:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kunit/tips.html#customizing-error-messages

Non-blocker: we have a duplicate section on assertion vs expectations:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kunit/usage.html#assertions
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kunit/usage.html#exiting-early-on-failed-expectations
