Well you're adding notifications, probably that the notifications
arrive correctly?  Plus that devlink doesn't hung when there are no
notifications.  It doesn't have to be a super advanced test, just
exercising the code paths in the kernel is fine.

In principle netdevsim is for testing and you add no tests, its not
the first time you're doing this.

Is my maths off?  The loop is 5 sec now:

 500000 / 1000 * 10 ms = 5000 ms = 5 sec?
