[PATCH 4/7] kunit: platform: catch duplicate (name, id) in kunit_platform_device_add()

From: Jia He

Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 01:10:02 EST


kunit_platform_device_add_twice_fails_test registers the same device
twice and expects failure. Without an early check the second
platform_device_add() reaches sysfs_create_dir_ns() and dumps a
backtrace via sysfs_warn_dup() on every run.

Walk the platform bus for a device with matching name and id and return
-EEXIST. PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO assigns its id inside add() and can't
collide, so skip it.
