Maybe s/present/available/ ?

Could you please add doc? Whole include/tst_cmd.h is documented, it's obvious
that new functionality should be documented.

And best would be if you use kerneldoc syntax.

https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/domains/c.html

This effectively breaks build, because you haven't update any of these users (24
tests + 2 doc files.

I'm not a native speaker, but I think:

Please use kernel doc syntax (see links above).

very nit: use ternary operator?

				pcmd->present = tst_check_cmd(pcmd->cmd, !pcmd->optional) ? 0 : 1;

Kind regards,
