Personally, I'd rather have this behind CONFIG_CLK_KUNIT_TEST if
possible, if only to avoid needlessly building these if someone just
wants to test some other subsystem (but needs CONFIG_COMMON_CLK
enabled anyway). I doubt it'd be a problem in practice in this case,
but we definitely want to keep build (and hence iteration) times down
as much as possible, so it's probably good practice to keep all tests
behind at least some sort of "test this subsystem" option.

Yeah: my rule of thumb at the moment is to keep the kunit_ prefix for
things which are generic across the whole kernel (and tend to be
implemented in lib/kunit), and to use suffixes or infixes (whichever
works best) for things which are subsystem-specific.

Sounds good to me.
