I agree that printing something in case KSFT_PASS does not make sense
indeed.

But if something goes wrong (KSFT_FAIL/KSFT_SKIP) I would expect a reason in
all cases.

IIRC kselftest_harness.h behaves that way:

That's mostly just it being chatty because it uses an assert based idiom
rather than explicit pass/fail reports, it's a lot less common for
things written directly to kselftest.h where it's for example fairly
common to see a result detected directly in a ksft_result() call.
That does tend to be quite helpful when looking at the results, you
don't need to dig out the logs so often.

Right, and if the test fails, you immediately know why. So I am a big fan of the test telling you why it failed, not assuming "it's the last check, so the user can go figure out that it's the last check in that file and we just don't tell him that".

In any case, I hoe this will be gone at some point, and kselftest_harness.h will provide that to us automatically.
