Hmm. Why didn't I see this as a build failure?

Oh. Because the USB4_KUNIT_TEST stuff requires everything to be built
in. And I have them as modules.

That's a bit unfortunate. I see the commentary in commit 54509f5005ca
("thunderbolt: Add KUnit tests for path walking") about how this is
fine because only developers run the tests, but it has this very
unfortunate side issue of not getting a lot of build coverage either.

Will do. Thanks,
