I don't think a sample module is the correct choice for this. It makes it
look a
bit like this is an API intended for drivers. I think kunit tests might be a
better fit.

Sure, kunit tests indeed sound better. I will convert it over (this and the
other one). Thanks!

Yup, we can probably move this into the doctest examples and have them
serve as examples as well.
