Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2]  Add a test to verify device probing on ACPI platforms

Regressions that prevent a driver from probing a device can significantly
affect the functionality of a platform.

A kselftest to verify if devices on a DT-based platform are probed
correctly was recently introduced [1], but no such generic test is
available for ACPI platforms yet. bootrr [2]  provides device probe
testing, but relies on a pre-defined list of the peripherals present on
each DUT.

On ACPI based hardware, a complete description of the platform is
provided to the OS by the system firmware. ACPI namespace objects are
mapped by the Linux ACPI subsystem into a device tree in
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTEM:00; the information in this subtree can be parsed
to build a list of the hw peripherals present on the DUT dynamically.

This series adds a test to verify if the devices declared in the ACPI
namespace and supported by the kernel are probed correctly.

This work follows a similar approach to [1], adapted for the ACPI use
case.

The first patch introduces a script that builds a list of all ACPI device
IDs supported by the kernel, by inspecting the acpi_device_id structs in
the sources. This list can be used to avoid testing ACPI-enumerated
devices that don't have a matching driver in the kernel. This script was
highly inspired by the dt-extract-compatibles script [3].

In the second patch, a new kselftest is added. It parses the
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTEM:00 tree to obtain a list of all platform
peripherals and verifies which of those, if supported, are correctly
bound to a driver.

Feedback is much appreciated,

Thank you,

Laura
