Hi Alex

Have you found any other driver doing this?  Where do they keep there
code?

Could this be a selftest, put somewhere in tools/testing/selftests.

Or can this be a test kernel module. Eg. we have crypt/testmsg.c which
runs a number of tests on the crypto subsystem,
./kernel/time/test_udelay.c which runs times on udelay.

Rather than inventing something new, please follow other examples
already in the kernel.
