I suggest to improve this change description.

* How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

  Reset the member “test_fs” of the test configuration after a call
  of the function “kfree_const” to a null pointer so that a double
  memory release will not be performed.

* Would you like to add the tag “Fixes”?

Regards,
Markus

OK, I will send a v2 patch with the updated commit message and "Fixes" tag.

It should set config->test_fs instead of config->test_driver as NULL
after kfree_const(config->test_fs) to avoid potential double free.
