The drm_test_rect_calc_hscale and drm_test_rect_calc_vscale unit tests
intentionally trigger warning backtraces by providing bad parameters to
the tested functions. What is tested is the return value, not the existence
of a warning backtrace. Suppress the backtraces to avoid clogging the
kernel log and distraction from real problems.

Some of the suggestions in the thread around __cleanup() et al. sound good to me, too. I suspect that it should work given the kunit_add_action() / resource system use anyway, so even if an assertion fires, things should be cleaned up properly.

Cheers,
