SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 4/8] Documentation: KUnit: Reword start guide for selecting tests
Hello Tales,
I have a few suggestions listed below. Please see my comments inline.
Apart from that it looks fine to me.

Regards,
Sadiya

You can add the new heading and the intro content given below:

Running selected unit tests
----------------------------
The kunit_tool runs a set of default unit tests as listed in the KUnit
``defconfig``. To run a specific set of tests (rather than the default
tests), you can create a ``.kunitconfig``
file with kernel config options that enable only a specific set of
tests and their dependencies.
The .kunitconfig also contains any other test specific config options,
such as test dependencies.
You can select which tests to run by: <Add the new content you added>
