Tests for drivers often require a struct device to pass to other

root_device_register(), or to use something like a platform device, this
is both a misuse of those APIs, and can be difficult to clean up after,
for example, a failed assertion.

Add some KUnit-specific functions for registering and unregistering a
struct device:
- kunit_device_register()
- kunit_device_register_with_driver()
- kunit_device_unregister()

Thanks a lot David! I have been missing these!

I love the explanation you added under Documentation. Very helpful I'd say. I only have very minor comments which you can ignore if they don't make sense to you or the kunit-subsystem.

With or without the suggested changes:

I see you added the function documentation to the header. I assume this is the kunit style(?) I may be heretical, but I'd love to see at least a very short documentation for (all) exported functions here. I think the arguments are mostly self-explatonary, but at least for me the return values aren't that obvious. Whether they are kerneldoc or not is not that important to me.

I think you did a great job adding docs under Documentation/ (and the header) - but at least I tend to just jump to function implementation when I need to figure out how it behaves. Having doc (or pointer to doc) also here helps. I don't think it's that widely spread practice to add docs to the headers(?)

Very much nitpicking only - but do you think either the "__"-prefix or the "_internal"-suffix would be enough and not both? (Just to make function a tad shorter, not that it matters much though).
