Hi,

Michael recently posted a patch that adds the various selftest settings 
files to the TEST_FILES list, ensuring that they get copied to the 
install directory along with the tests:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20200220044241.2878-1-mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I think if you add that to the corresponding Makefile, you should be set.
