A serializer is a red herring.  Just drop the entire label and concept.
What is already in KUnit is the equivalent, printing out (eg through
printk() or however printk() is wrapped) simple text of the form (by
example) of

  label: value
  label: value
  label:
    label: value
    label: value
  label:
     label:
       label: value
       label: value

So basically
  - label/value pairs
  - label without value indicating a node or block (another level)
  - some rules about the format of value
  - indentation indicating a node or block

That is something really simple.  No need for any fancy coding to
encapsulate.
