If you fix the issue in a separate patch/commit (i.e. not just a new version of
the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>, old ones prefixed by <<):
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: initramfs_test_cases+0x0 (section: .data) -> initramfs_test_extract (section: .init.text)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: initramfs_test_cases+0x30 (section: .data) -> initramfs_test_fname_overrun (section: .init.text)

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: initramfs_test_cases+0xf0 (section: .data) -> initramfs_test_many (section: .init.text)

These new warnings are covered in the commit message. The
kunit_test_init_section_suites() registered tests aren't in the .init
section as debugfs entries are retained for results reporting (without
an ability to rerun them).
IIUC, the __kunit_init_test_suites->CONCATENATE(..., _probe) suffix is
intended to suppress the modpost warning - @kunit-dev: any ideas why
this isn't working as intended?

Stephen Rothwell (cc'ed) mentioned that we might be able to use
__refdata for initramfs_test_cases. The __ref* description in init.h
does indicate that it's suitable, and I now see that it's present in
kunit-example-test.c . I'll propose a patch which can be squashed in
with the existing commit.

Thanks, David
