Merge tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-coregrafted

Pull driver core fixes from Danilo Krummrich:

 - Fix kernfs listxattr() not returning security xattr names (e.g.
   SELinux labels) when the kernfs node has no allocated kernfs_iattrs

 - Fix silent truncation of IRQ vector indices in the Rust PCI
   abstractions

 - Don't select OF from DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST; skip the test when OF is
   disabled instead of silently enabling extra kernel functionality

 - Russ Weight is retiring from kernel development; update the Firmware
   Loader sysfs contact to the driver-core mailing list, add a CREDITS
   entry for Firmware Upload, and update MAINTAINERS accordingly

* tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core:
  MAINTAINERS: Remove Russ Weight from Firmware Loader
  CREDITS: Add CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload
  firmware_loader: Change contact for sysfs nodes
  rust: pci: reject IRQ vector indices that do not fit in u32
  kernfs: preserve security xattrs without allocating iattrs
  drivers: base: test: DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST should not select OF

+=============================
+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 to
+give 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 greatly
+improve coverage, generate the reference for each platform and enable the exist
+test. The discoverable bus test can be used to verify the probe status of
+specific USB or PCI devices, but is probably not worth it for most cases.
