Great to see these going upstream!

I've tested them on my machine, both with x86_64 qemu and with UML using:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run
--kunitconfig=drivers/gpu/drm/tests/.kunitconfig \
--kconfig_add CONFIG_UML_PCI_OVER_VIRTIO=y \
--kconfig_add CONFIG_VIRTIO_UML=y

And all 114 tests pass, and everything looks good. My only minor notes
(from a quick look at the results, rather than a detailed review of
the code) are that the test names have a few small oddities:
- The suites all end in _tests (or _test, in the case of
drm_plane_helper_test). This is a bit redundant (and while there is
only one drm_plane_helper_test, the inconsistency with the others is a
bit awkward), so removing the suffix may be cleaner. (Or at least
being optimistic, and making drm_plane_helper_test plural.)
- The drm_cmdline_parser_tests suite's tests have some inconsistencies
name-wise: they're the only ones to start with drm_, not igt_, and
they have a few capital letters in some of the
'drm_cmdline_test_force_D_' tests. (It's also technically redundant to
start all of the test names with drm_cmdline_test, given the suite
name.)

Of course, if you're trying to keep compatibility with existing tests
or tooling, or there's some deeper reason they're named like this,
it's definitely not a dealbreaker.

Either way, this whole series is:
