    This is true but that is the *test* shell script, and it purposely avoids the
    existing firmware path to avoid overriding dummy test files on the production
    path. So the above still stands as it is not using the test shell script
    driver_data.sh.

    I'll add a note:

    """
    Note that driver_data.sh uses its own temporary custom path for creating and
    looking for driver data files, it does this to not overwrite any production
    files you might have which may share the same names used by the test shell
    script driver_data.sh. If you are not using the driver_data.sh script your
    default path will be used.

    Yes, I went through all possible channels to vet for this, for details refer
    to the thread which explains this [0] where the first attempt was to actually add
    the license to the list of compatible licenses. So Linus' preference is to use
    MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") rather.

    Just that 1 was not enough and more than 10 seemed too much. As is the tests
    are rather simple compared to what we can do given the flexibility in how we
    can perform tests due to the test driver structure, in the future this will
    become more important. But best to just get in the basics before we hammer and
    expand on this a lot. There is also the question of sharing this sort of logic
    with the upper testing layers so that they deal with this and not us
    (tools/testing/selftests/), in that sense all this is just sufficient for us to do
    our own testing for now, but we may and should consider how to get the upper
    layers to deal this for us. But we can address this later.

    This is a test script so it constructs its own temporary path so it can
    have the confidence to overwrite anything it pleases. So in this case yes.
    Its just as the old firmware test script.

    Good thing you highlighted these, I had them flipped, -s was for single run
    and -c was for test-count number of times.

    True but I prefer having short-hand notations as well.

    PS. In the future I'd highly appreciate if you can trim your responses
    so you leave only in context enough information to just review the
    criteria you are commenting on, rather than keeping every single line.
