Why are all of these test suite patches here?  They are not relevant for
6.6-final as they do not resolve anything.

I can see the memory leak being relevant, and also:

That one, but why the testing code?  What bug/regression are they
fixing?

Maybe the subjects indicate no bug fixing, but they fix null-ptr-deref
issues when modprobe fpga-mgr/bridge/region-test.

In fpga-mgr-test, the pdev->dev->driver is not assigned, so when

  fpga_mgr_test_get()->try_module_get(dev->parent->driver->owner)

NULL ptr is referenced.

So do fpga-bridge/region-test.

Patch #1 adds a common helper to generate a platform driver.
Patch #2/3/4 fix the issues by matching the driver to pdev.

That's not obvious, sorry.  So are the tests broken right now so that
they don't work at all?

That's a horrible line and should be fixed.  How do you know if a device
has a parent, or if that parent has a driver?  You don't, that should be
fixed instead.

And module_get on a driver pointer is also never a good idea for other
reasons, why is this happening at all?  It shouldn't be needed if the
code is set up properly (i.e. the unloading of a driver will handle the
shutdown and reference counting properly, no need to try to use module
references at all.)

Don't abuse platform devices/drivers like this, this is not a platform
device or driver.  If you really want to do this, use a real driver and
device, not a platform one please.

Want to just disable all of these from the build entirely for now and
then fix them up properly for 6.7?

They were broken only when compiled and run as modules.

You are right, but fixing the fpga core is outside the scope of my patches.
My intent was to improve the test suite by adding fake drivers irrespective
of the fpga core quirks. I might try to send an RFC later to improve the
fpga core.

Other test suites, like DRM suites, already use fake platform devices and
drivers. Moreover, many real FPGA IPs, like reconfiguration controllers and
bridges, are indeed modeled as platform devices. What is the benefit of
using a real driver and device?

Then forbid the ability to compile them as modules.

Which is why I'm not going to take these as you aren't fixing the root
problem here :)

Again, please do not abuse platform devices and drivers when they should
not be used.  I can't catch all abuses, but when I do see them, I do
object to them.

And again, the root problem here isn't even a platform device issue,
it's a "assuming the parent has a driver and we want to increment a
module reference" issue.  That's not ok, nor even needed at all.

I was mistaken. To be more precise, the suites run when using the KUnit
default UML kernel but crashes on other archs unless MODULES=n.

Could you please elaborate a little more on why using platform drivers
and devices for test cases is an abuse so I can improve the test suite?

I'm OK this way.

Macro, could you send a patch to Greg for diabling them? And let's do
proper fix up in FPGA core for 6.7.

Because they just are not platform devices.

A platform driver is one that has hardware resources like DT or ACPI or
other real resources that talk to hardware and are not on a discoverable
bus, they are NOT fake devices with no actual hardware resources.

If you need a "fake" device, make a fake device, that's what virtual
devices are for there are other solutions as well depending on how you
want to use it.

There is also a null-ptr-deref for fpga-mgr/bridge/region-test when
