[PATCH v2 0/3] gpio: add kunit tests for GPIO core

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

This series adds a first batch of kunit tests for GPIO core. I intend to
gradually add more coverage for functionalities that can't really be
tested from user-space with the existing kernel selftests or libgpiod
tests.

Merging strategy: with an Ack from kunit maintainers, this can go
through the GPIO tree for v7.2.

Changes in v2:
- Remove cases of kunit killing a thread on test failure with device lock
  taken
- Fix a platform device leak on test failure
- New patch: provide kunit_platform_device_unregister()
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260518-gpiolib-kunit-v1-0-131ec646c4df@oss.qualcomm.com

[PATCH v2 2/3] kunit: provide kunit_platform_device_unregister()

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

Tests may want to unregister a platform device as part of the test case
logic. Using the regular platform_device_register() with kunit
assertions may result in a platform device leak or otherwise requires
cumbersome error handling. Provide a function that unregisters a
kunit-managed platform device and drops the release action from the
test's list.

[PATCH v2 3/3] gpio: add kunit test cases for the GPIO subsystem

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

Add a module containing kunit test cases for GPIO core. The idea is to
use it to test functionalities that can't easily be tested from
user-space with kernel selftests or GPIO character device test suites
provided by the libgpiod package.

For now add test cases that verify software node based lookup and ensure
that a GPIO provider unbinding with active consumers does not cause a
crash.
