Copyright (c) 2024 Collabora Ltd =============================Device testing with kselftest=============================  There are a few different kselftests available for testing devices generically,with some overlap in coverage and different requirements. This document aims togive an overview of each one. Note: Paths in this document are relative to the kselftest folder(``tools/testing/selftests``). Device oriented kselftests: * Devicetree (``dt``)   * **Coverage**: Probe status for devices described in Devicetree  * **Requirements**: None * Error logs (``devices/error_logs``)   * **Coverage**: Error (or more critical) log messages presence coming from any    device  * **Requirements**: None * Discoverable bus (``devices/probe``)   * **Coverage**: Presence and probe status of USB or PCI devices that have been    described in the reference file  * **Requirements**: Manually describe the devices that should be tested in a    YAML reference file (see ``devices/probe/boards/google,spherion.yaml`` for    an example) * Exist (``devices/exist``)   * **Coverage**: Presence of all devices  * **Requirements**: Generate the reference (see ``devices/exist/README.rst``    for details) on a known-good kernel Therefore, the suggestion is to enable the error log and devicetree tests on all(DT-based) platforms, since they don't have any requirements. Then to greatlyimprove coverage, generate the reference for each platform and enable the existtest. The discoverable bus test can be used to verify the probe status ofspecific USB or PCI devices, but is probably not worth it for most cases.
