Great to see it worked as expected!

What I meant was to give a description of the protocol, so that if
somebody wanted, they could (without reading the implementation)
implement their own custom generator without the helper macro.
E.g. something like: "The generator function is used to lazily
generate a series of arbitrarily typed values that fit into a void*.
The argument @prev is the previously returned value, which should be
used to derive the next value; @prev is set to NULL on the initial
generator call. When no more values are available, the generator must
return NULL."

This is only for arrays, which is why I suggested KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM()
as the name.
A generator can very well be implemented without an array, so this
macro name is confusing. In future somebody might want to provide a
macro that takes a start + end value (and maybe a step value) to
generate a series of values. That generator could be named
KUNIT_RANGE_PARAM(name, start, end, step) and gives us a generator
that is also named name##_gen_params. (If you want to try implementing
that macro, I'd suggest doing it as a separate patch.)
And I don't think we need to put "GENERATOR" into the name of these
macros, because the generators are now the fundamental method with
which to get parameterized tests. We don't need to state the obvious,
in favor of some brevity.
