The DRM and KMS frameworks and helpers gain more and more kunit
coverage, so let's document what our expectations are.

I'm not too sure where those guidelines should be placed. Is it the best
place?

Seems fair.

On a related note, I was recently pinged again about the framebuffer
kunit tests causing warning backtraces on successful runs. I don't know
what to tell people, we kind of ended at an impasse [1]. Most tests
don't emit warnings, some do, and I'm still as reluctant as ever to
recommend folks to ignore warnings when running tests. We can agree to
disagree, but it doesn't really move things forward.

BR,
Jani.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+KUnit support is gradually added to the DRM framework and helpers. There's no
+general requirement for the framework and helpers to have KUnit tests at the

+covered by KUnit tests must provide tests if the change calls for one.
