Yes! So I have quite a few tests for KUnit itself, but they are mostly
in the patches that I cut from the previous version of the RFC:
https://kunit.googlesource.com/linux/+/c58019fb4fe15f820e51f857ae4ff14cd34075af/kunit/mock-macro-test.c
https://kunit.googlesource.com/linux/+/c58019fb4fe15f820e51f857ae4ff14cd34075af/kunit/mock-test.c
https://kunit.googlesource.com/linux/+/c58019fb4fe15f820e51f857ae4ff14cd34075af/kunit/string-stream-test.c
https://kunit.googlesource.com/linux/+/c58019fb4fe15f820e51f857ae4ff14cd34075af/kunit/test-stream-test.c
https://kunit.googlesource.com/linux/+/c58019fb4fe15f820e51f857ae4ff14cd34075af/kunit/test-test.c

There are some in this patchset (like here:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1002904/), but I should
probably include some more...

In any case, if you are looking for a more "realistic" example, you
could look at these sets of tests, which I think is pretty good, and
actually found a couple bugs in existing code:
https://kunit.googlesource.com/linux/+/e10484ad2f9fc7926412ec84739fe105981b4771/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-aspeed-test.c

Awesome! I am looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Cheers
