(Not a strong preference)

Hmm, I'd slightly prefer we don't set a dummy value of -1 for this.
I personally think something like this is a bit less subtle:

/* Run non-parameterised tests once */
while (!test_case->generate_param || test.param_value) {

  if (!test_case->generate_param) break;
}

Alternatively, we don't need to share the loop

if (!test_case->generate_param) {
  kunit_run_case_catch_errors(suite, test_case, &test);
  kunit_update_stats(&param_stats, test.status);
} else while (test_param.value) {
   kunit_run_case_catch_errors(suite, test_case, &test);
   kunit_update_stats(&param_stats, test.status);
   /* print subtest and advance next param */
}

}
