Hello
It is my understanding that Linux kernel doesn't has usual `make check`
or `make test` command. There are LTP [1] and other related projects
instead. Could you tell me please what test suits (if any) do _you_ run
in practice?

It doesn't? Have you checked?
$ make help | grep test
Kernel selftest
kselftest - Build and run kernel selftest (run as root)
running kselftest on it
kselftest-clean - Remove all generated kselftest files
kselftest-merge - Merge all the config dependencies of kselftest to existed

It depends on what changes you make, to determine how you test it.
thanks,

If it is usual, which other software project with the same scale/volume
and complexity range has that actually and if it exists - even more
important - how useful is that?
Kind regards,
Bernd
