Add a kunit test for iio_str_to_fixpoint(). This function has an
unintuitive API so this is helpful to see how to use it and shows the
various edge cases.

When reviewing [1], I noticed that iio_str_to_fixpoint() has an odd API
which lead me to find the bug in [2]. To make sure I was understanding
the API correctly, I wrote a KUnit test for it. So here it is.

Discussion unrelated to the patch:
I'm also a little tempted to introduce a new function that is a bit
easier to use. Many callers of iio_str_to_fixpoint_s64() are doing
something like int_part * 1000 + fract_part and ignoring the possibility
of negative values which require special handling.
static int iio_str_to_fixpoint_s64(const char *str, u32 decimal_places, s64 *value)
{
int int_part, fract_part;
int ret;
ret = iio_str_to_fixpoint(str, int_pow(10, decimal_places - 1),
&int_part, &fract_part);
if (ret)
return ret;
*value = (s64)int_part * int_pow(10, decimal_places) +
(int_part < 0 ? -1 : 1) * fract_part;
return 0;
}

Looks good to me other than the missing const the bots shouted about and whatever you and Matti conclude on the test conditions.

FWIW: I like this.

Do you think doing two checks:
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, int_part, 1);
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fract_part, 234);
instead of the:
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, int_part * 1000 + fract_part, 1234);
would work? For me seeing it all ass
ret = iio_str_to_fixpoint("1.234", 100, &int_part, &fract_part);
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, 0, ret);
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, int_part, 1);
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, fract_part, 234);
would be super clear - albeit also a line longer :)
(Same applies to the rest of the cases).
Well, it's not critical, so with or without that change:
