Quoting documentation:

  Co-posting selftests
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  Selftests should be part of the same series as the code changes.
  Specifically for fixes both code change and related test should go into
  the same tree (the tests may lack a Fixes tag, which is expected).
  Mixing code changes and test changes in a single commit is discouraged.
