Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

<title>driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *</title>

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

<title>greybus: Fix use-after-free bug in gb_interface_release due to race condition.</title>

<content type='text'>
In gb_interface_create, &amp;intf-&gt;mode_switch_completion is bound with
gb_interface_mode_switch_work. Then it will be started by
gb_interface_request_mode_switch. Here is the relevant code.
if (!queue_work(system_long_wq, &amp;intf-&gt;mode_switch_work)) {
	...
}

If we call gb_interface_release to make cleanup, there may be an
unfinished work. This function will call kfree to free the object
"intf". However, if gb_interface_mode_switch_work is scheduled to
run after kfree, it may cause use-after-free error as
gb_interface_mode_switch_work will use the object "intf".
The possible execution flow that may lead to the issue is as follows:

CPU0                            CPU1

                            |   gb_interface_create
                            |   gb_interface_request_mode_switch
gb_interface_release        |
kfree(intf) (free)          |
                            |   gb_interface_mode_switch_work
                            |   mutex_lock(&amp;intf-&gt;mutex) (use)

Fix it by canceling the work before kfree.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported

The build warning hits clang and is a gcc (and C23) extension, and is
fixed up in the merge.

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_range()/ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. So a -1 has been added when
needed.

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_range()/ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. So a -1 has been added when
needed.

<title>greybus: constify the struct device_type usage</title>

Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the
greybus_hd_type, greybus_module_type, greybus_interface_type,
greybus_control_type, greybus_bundle_type and greybus_svc_type variables to
be constant structures as well, placing it into read-only memory which can
not be modified at runtime.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the greybus_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

<title>treewide, serdev: change receive_buf() return type to size_t</title>

receive_buf() is called from ttyport_receive_buf() that expects values
"&gt;= 0" from serdev_controller_receive_buf(), change its return type from
ssize_t to size_t.

The need for this clean-up was noticed while fixing a warning, see
commit 94d053942544 ("Bluetooth: btnxpuart: fix recv_buf() return value").
Changing the callback prototype to return an unsigned seems the best way
to document the API and ensure that is properly used.

GNSS drivers implementation of serdev receive_buf() callback return
directly the return value of gnss_insert_raw(). gnss_insert_raw()
returns a signed int, however this is not an issue since the value
returned is always positive, because of the kfifo_in() implementation.
gnss_insert_raw() could be changed to return also an unsigned, however
this is not implemented here as request by the GNSS maintainer Johan
Hovold.
