[RFC PATCH v3 6/6] char: mem: add Kconfig option for devmem KUnit tests

[Gabriele Paoloni]

From: Alessandro Carminati <acarmina@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce a dedicated Kconfig option to enable extended KUnit testing
for /dev/mem behavior.

The option enables tests covering I/O memory access restrictions,
including behavior under CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM. Because the tests may
perform reads from I/O regions, they are opt-in and documented with
appropriate warnings.

This keeps test coverage explicit and avoids unintended hardware
side effects.
