<content type='text'>
Update call sites in the driver-core files and its related samples
to import `ARef` and `AlwaysRefCounted` from `sync::aref`
instead of `types`.

This aligns with the ongoing effort to move `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` to sync.

These accessors can be used to retrieve a irq::Registration and
irq::ThreadedRegistration from a platform device by
index or name. Alternatively, drivers can retrieve an IrqRequest from a
bound platform device for later use.

These accessors ensure that only valid IRQ lines can ever be registered.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
     'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
     'ref_as_ptr'

     These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
     which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
     powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes

   - Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
     plural one in the previous cycle

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
     'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
     kernel parameters:

         warn_on!(value == 42);

     To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
     followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
     assembly between both C and Rust

     This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
     existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
     functional change expected there

   - 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
     'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
     'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:

         /// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
         /// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
         fn print_later(value: Arc&lt;MyStruct&gt;) {
             let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
         }

   - New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
     with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:

         static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
         static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));

         assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());

   - 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
     reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&amp;CStr'

     Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
     to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
     them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
     it to the prelude, too

   - Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
     with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
     take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
     it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
     some other cleanups

     Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
     and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances

   - 'dma' module:

      - Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature

      - Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'

      - Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'

      - Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add
        the corresponding type invariants

      - Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'

   - 'time' module:

      - Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
        compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
        'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source

      - Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
        take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
        depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
        check the type matches the timer mode

      - Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
        function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
        on the requested sleep time

      - Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
        timestamps

      - Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
        'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types

      - Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'

   - 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
     pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
     'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
     simplifications too

   - 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
     constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
     require 'into_foreign' to return non-null

     Remove the 'Either&lt;L, R&gt;' type as well. It is unused, and we want
     to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases

   - 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
     to allow them to be used in generic APIs

   - 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box&lt;T, A&gt;';
     and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec&lt;T, A&gt;'

   - 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
     that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
     'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it

   - 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method

   - 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
     'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
     we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
     in 'static_lock_class'

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Add 'impl&lt;T, E&gt; [Pin]Init&lt;T, E&gt; for Result&lt;T, E&gt;', so results are
     now (pin-)initializers

   - Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'

   - New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
     it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'

   - Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option&lt;&amp;T&gt;', 'Option&lt;&amp;mut T&gt;' and for
     'Option&lt;[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -&gt; ret&gt;' for
     '"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments

   - Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl&lt;T, E&gt;
     [Pin]Init&lt;T, E&gt; for T' to 'impl&lt;T&gt; [Pin]Init&lt;T&gt; for T'

   - Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'

   - Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
     '--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two
     '-next' branches in upstream and the kernel

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add Vlastimil Babka, Liam R. Howlett, Uladzislau Rezki and Lorenzo
     Stoakes as reviewers (thanks everyone)

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

The previous patches have added the abstractions for Resources and the
ability to map them and therefore read and write the underlying memory .

The only thing missing to make this accessible for platform devices is
to provide accessors that return instances of IoRequest&lt;'a&gt;. These
ensure that the resource are valid only for the lifetime of the platform
device, and that the platform device is in the Bound state.

Therefore, add these accessors. Also make it possible to retrieve
resources from platform devices in Rust using either a name or an index.

The platform bus is potentially capable of performing DMA, hence implement
the `dma:Device` trait for `platform::Device`.

The prefix as_* should not be used for a constructor. Constructors
usually use the prefix from_* instead.

Some prior art in the stdlib: Box::from_raw, CString::from_raw,
Rc::from_raw, Arc::from_raw, Waker::from_raw, File::from_raw_fd.

There is also prior art in the kernel crate: cpufreq::Policy::from_raw,
fs::File::from_raw_file, Kuid::from_raw, ARef::from_raw,
SeqFile::from_raw, VmaNew::from_raw, Io::from_raw.

<title>rust: types: add FOREIGN_ALIGN to ForeignOwnable</title>

The current implementation of `ForeignOwnable` is leaking the type of the
opaque pointer to consumers of the API. This allows consumers of the opaque
pointer to rely on the information that can be extracted from the pointer
type.

To prevent this, change the API to the version suggested by Maira
Canal (link below): Remove `ForeignOwnable::PointedTo` in favor of a
constant, which specifies the alignment of the pointers returned by
`into_foreign`.

With this change, `ArcInner` no longer needs `pub` visibility, so change it
to private.

<title>rust: platform: implement Driver::unbind()</title>

Currently, there's really only one core callback for drivers, which is
probe().

Now, this isn't entirely true, since there is also the drop() callback of
the driver type (serving as the driver's private data), which is returned
by probe() and is dropped in remove().

On the C side remove() mainly serves two purposes:

  (1) Tear down the device that is operated by the driver, e.g. call bus
      specific functions, write I/O memory to reset the device, etc.

  (2) Free the resources that have been allocated by a driver for a
      specific device.

The drop() callback mentioned above is intended to cover (2) as the Rust
idiomatic way.

However, it is partially insufficient and inefficient to cover (1)
properly, since drop() can't be called with additional arguments, such as
the reference to the corresponding device that has the correct device
context, i.e. the Core device context.

This makes it inefficient (but not impossible) to access device
resources, e.g. to write device registers, and impossible to call device
methods, which are only accessible under the Core device context.

In order to solve this, add an additional callback for (1), which we
call unbind().

The reason for calling it unbind() is that, unlike remove(), it is *only*
meant to be used to perform teardown operations on the device (1), but
*not* to release resources (2).

Take advantage of the generic drvdata accessors of the generic Device
type.

While at it, use from_result() instead of match.
