Yes, you can download the autotest suite here (for 1.11.2):

http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/1.11.2/

there is also test_ogrsf in apps/

cd apps
make test_ogrsf
./test_ogrsf --help
Usage: test_ogrsf [-ro] [-q] [-threads N] [-loops M] [-fsf]
                  (datasource_name | [-driver driver_name] [[-dsco
NAME=VALUE] ...] [[-lco NAME=VALUE] ...] | -all_drivers)
                  [[layer1_name, layer2_name, ...] | [-sql statement]
[-dialect dialect]]
                   [[-oo NAME=VALUE] ...]

-fsf : full spatial filter testing (slow)

Submit a ticket on the trac instance at:

https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/newticket

attach the patch for the gdal trunk, and the new unit tests as a patch
in autotest.

Current trunk is 2.0, with a release candidate out.  You may have to
do a little work to update the driver.
