[PATCH 0/2] drivers: base: Add tests showing devm handling inconsistencies

[Maxime Ripard]

Hi,

This follows the discussion here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20230324123157.bbwvfq4gsxnlnfwb@houat/

This shows a couple of inconsistencies with regard to how device-managed
resources are cleaned up. Basically, devm resources will only be cleaned up
if the device is attached to a bus and bound to a driver. Failing any of
these cases, a call to device_unregister will not end up in the devm
resources being released.

We had to work around it in DRM to provide helpers to create a device for
kunit tests, but the current discussion around creating similar, generic,
helpers for kunit resumed interest in fixing this.

This can be tested using the command:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=drivers/base/test/

Let me know what you think,
Maxime
