    of: unittest: add program to process EXPECT messages · 8e4296c2
    Frank Rowand authored
    If unittest detects a problem it will print a warning or error message
    to the console.  Unittest also triggers warning and error messages from
    other kernel code as a result of intentionally bad unittest data.  This
    has led to confusion as to whether the triggered messages are an
    expected result of a test or whether there is a real problem that is
    independent of unittest.
    
    EXPECT messages were added to unittest to report each triggered message
    that is expected, resulting in verbose console output.
    
    scripts/dtc/of_unittest is a new program that processes the EXPECT
    messages to determine whether the triggered messages occurred and
    also removes the excess verbosity of the EXPECT messages.  More
    information is available from 'scripts/dtc/of_unittest_expect --help'.
