I prefer to use drm_kunit_helper_alloc_drm_device() with the intermediate
structure. It makes the code clearer, in my opinion. Initially, when
developing the suite, I was using __drm_kunit_helper_alloc_drm_device()
as most test suites do, but I feel the list of arguments including
"sizeof(*drm), 0," is less straightforward to understand.
