IMHO unittests shouldn't have a residual impact on the system after
they are done. So, I'll agree to disagree on this one.

On a normal system, FDT is parsed and of_root is set (or not set) very
early on during setup_arch() before any of the initcall levels are
run. The return value of of_have_populated_dt() isn't expected to
change across initcall levels. But because of the way the unittest is
written (the of_root is changed at late_initcall() level) the return
value of of_have_populated_dt() changes across initcall levels. I
think that's a real problem with the unittest -- it's breaking API
semantics.

of_have_populated_dt() is being used to check if DT is present in the
system and different things are done based on that. We can't have that
value change across initcall levels.

Couple of thoughts:
1. Don't run unit test if there is no live DT in the system?
2. If you don't want to do (1), then at least set up the unit test
data during setup_arch() instead of doing it at some initcall level?
3. Can you use overlays for the unit tests if they are loaded as a module?

Sure, I could easily fix it to work around this. But this seems to be
a genuine problem with the unittest setup IMO.
