I definitely agree we should be consistent. My personal bias
(unsurprisingly) is "foo-test," but this is just because that is the
convention I am used to in other projects I have worked on.

On an unbiased note, we are currently almost evenly split between the
two conventions with *slight* preference for "foo-test": I ran the two
following grep commands on v5.1-rc7:

grep -Hrn --exclude-dir="build" -e "config [a-zA-Z_0-9]\+_TEST$" | wc -l
grep -Hrn --exclude-dir="build" -e "config TEST_[a-zA-Z_0-9]\+" | wc -l

"foo-test" has 36 occurrences.
"test-foo" has 33 occurrences.

The things I am more concerned about is how this would affect file
naming. If we have a unit test for foo.c, I think foo_test.c is more
consistent with our namespacing conventions. The other thing, is if we
already have a Kconfig symbol called FOO_TEST (or TEST_FOO) what
should we name the KUnit test in this case? FOO_UNIT_TEST?
FOO_KUNIT_TEST, like I did above?

Cheers
