Hello all,


Can someone suggest what is the mostly used automation test framework
for testing the linux kernel mode drivers?

To test what?  Device drivers?  There's so many different types that
I don't think one framework can deal.  Consider everything from USB audio
cards to 40Gbit Ethernet interfaces to GPU cards....

Yes, to test device drivers(UART, PCIe, SDIO ...)

As I said, there's not any good way to make a framework for testing all
device drivers.  For starters, you can't even get all the hardware into
one machine - it's going to be *really* hard to test a laptop fingerprint
reader and a 40 gigabit ethernet in the same system.

In general, the maintainer has whatever they consider to be a sufficient
test methodology for the driver they maintain (which obviously requires
that the maintainer actually have access to an example of the device).
