Give the test result before speaking too much.
Which concrete data do you expect here?
Depends on the result.
How can this vary?
How? Because I didn't see any test result from you, so I can't trust you.
The bottom line is that you run your patched kernel on the real hardware
Which test configurations would you trust finally?
Do test whatever like the users do.
or equivalent (VM or emulation) for the device you touched.
Can all the devices for which I dared to adjust their source code a bit tested in desired ways within virtual machines?
No, you need to run the kernel exactly to be used by the user of the target hardware.
Run your patched kernel and the driver code on the real machine with the corresponding device. Show the device is running. That's the very first step. Then follow the more detailed tests, but it depends on the subsystem.
How can such descriptions improve the trust situation?
It's the first step. At least then I can see you did some test. Currently nothing. zero. nada. How can I trust it?
