Maybe as Robin suggested, something as:
	if (IS_ERR(dev)) {
		kunit_skip(test, "Failed to allocated device!\n");
		return;
	}

Is simple enough and verbose and can distinguished from test failures,
it will look like:
[    2.095812]     ok 1 arm_lpae_do_selftests # SKIP Failed to allocated device!

Thanks,
Mostafa
