thanks, this mostly LGTM but there's still a bug left in the vararg
handling.

nitpick: none of name, syspath, devnode are used in the tests and it's
likely they'll never need to be so there's no reason to strdup them
here. You could change fetch_syspath_and_devnode() to open_devnode() and
return the opened fd, meaning you can reduce the code even more.

this one and the others without extra arguments need to be:

	rc = selftest_uinput_create_device(&uidev, -1);

otherwise the vararg loop is going to keep the room warm for no reason.
