Someone suggested I should send the next revision out as "PATCH"
instead of "RFC" since there seems to be general consensus about
everything at a high level, with a couple exceptions.
At this time I am planning on sending the next revision out as "[PATCH
v1 00/NN] kunit: introduce KUnit, the Linux kernel unit testing
framework". Initially I wasn't sure if the next revision should be
"[PATCH v1 ...]" or "[PATCH v5 ...]". Please let me know if you have a
strong objection to the former.
In the next revision, I will be dropping the last two of three patches
for the DT unit tests as there doesn't seem to be enough features
currently available to justify the heavy refactoring I did; however, I
will still include the patch that just converts everything over to
KUnit without restructuring the test cases:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/14/1133
I should have the next revision out in a week or so.
