Hi Dean,

thank you for your patch! Looks mostly good, a couple of comments
though.

Consider adding a shebang here, like it's already done with the other
scripts.

The hint is actually wrong, this is dpdk/devtools. I think you meant to
make this:

    BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent

> +TESTS_DIR = BASE_DIR.parent / "dts" / "tests"  # dts/tests/

and this would just be:

    TESTS_DIR = BASE_DIR / "dts" / "tests"

I wouldn't hard code the decorator names like this. Put this in a
constant at the top instead:

    DECORATOR_NAMES = {"func_test", "perf_test"}

I wouldn't insert this with the ruff if scope. This can still stay under
the lint if block, but give it its own.
