Good someone is developing tests!
My comments below.

Looks like a candidate now for a helper function

static inline u8 gen_src_value(u8 index, bool is_memset)
{
    u8 val = is_memset ? PATTERN_MEMSET_IDX : i;
    return PATTERN_SRC | (~val & PATTERN_COUNT_MASK);
}

buf[i] = gen_src_value(i, is_memset);
buf[i] = gen_src_value(i, is_memset) | PATTERN_COPY;
buf[i] = gen_src_value(i, is_memset);

Ditto for DST.

This is a signal to replace it with

unsigned int flags

#define DMATEST_FL_SRCBUF BIT(0)
#define DMATEST_FL_MEMSET BIT(1)

or alike.

I'm not insisting, just consider an opportunity.

Ditto.

The change doesn't belong to the patch.

Ditto.
