Hello!

I am happy to see that the kunit_parser will be used to parse
kselftest.h patches!

This patch looks pretty good to me! However, I do have one concern
where it does cause the parser to break.

Thanks!

My concern with this patch is that this makes the test number optional
([0-9]+) -> ([0-9]+)? for both the test result regex matches. But if I
do pass in KTAP containing a line where the test number is missing, it
causes the parser to crash because other lines of the code rely on the
match with the test number.

I would prefer if we keep the test number as required. This is
integral to the KTAP specification and seems to be largely shared by
different frameworks test output.
