[ Upstream commit f7acb19abcd867e5d2e1feb6197dcc65aa3b8e45 ]

Currently the lifetime on `Core` and `CoreInternal` is covariant. This
means that they can be coerced into shorter living lifetimes. On `probe`
function, signature has `&amp;'bound Device&lt;Core&lt;'a&gt;&gt;`; the type's wellformness
would imply `'a: 'bound` and thus the type can be coerced `&amp;'bound
Device&lt;Core&lt;'bound&gt;&gt;`, defeating the purpose of having the lifetime bound
to prevent users of the `Core` type to escape the function.

Fix this by making the lifetime invariant, so the coercion is impossible.
The lifetime here only needs to be "branded" so it does not coerce or unify
with other lifetimes, so we do not need to ensure `'bound: 'a`.

This requires modifying `nova-core` which relies on this implied bound due
to pre-2024 capture rule. The "use" bound can be removed if built with
edition 2024.

These macros are used like expressions, so they should not emit a
semicolon. This is being turned into a hard error in a future release of
Rust.

[ I was doubly surprised since upstream made it a deny-by-default lint
  a year ago for Rust 1.91.0, and yet we didn't see it; plus I hadn't
  seen this in my CI even yesterday.

  It turns out this just landed into today's nightly (nightly-2026-07-16,
  using upstream commit d0babd8b6):

    Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/159222

  which says:

    "The `semicolon_in_expressions_from_macros` lint previously
     suppressed warnings about non-local macros. This masks
     a lint that will subsequently become a hard error."

  So that explains it. And this is the PR that will make it a hard error
  at some point in the future:

    Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/159218

  Thus starting with Rust 1.99.0 (expected 2026-10-01), we will be
  seeing the deny-by-default lint above, so clean it up already.

Device&lt;Core&gt; references in probe callbacks are scoped to the callback,
not the full binding duration. Add a lifetime parameter to Core and
CoreInternal to accurately represent this in the type system.

Implement Sync for Device&lt;Bound&gt; in addition to Device&lt;Normal&gt;.

Device&lt;Bound&gt; uses the same underlying struct device as Device&lt;Normal&gt;;
Bound is a zero-sized type-state marker that does not affect thread
safety.

This is needed for types that hold &amp;'bound Device&lt;Bound&gt;, such as
io::mem::IoMem, to be Send.

<content type='text'>
When drvdata() was introduced in commit 6f61a2637abe ("rust: device:
introduce Device::drvdata()"), its commit message already noted that a
direct accessor to the driver's bus device private data is not commonly
required -- bus callbacks provide access through &amp;self, and other entry
points (IRQs, workqueues, IOCTLs, etc.) carry their own private data.

The sole motivation for drvdata() was inter-driver interaction -- an
auxiliary driver deriving the parent's bus device private data from the
parent device.

However, drvdata() exposes the driver's bus device private data beyond
the driver's own scope. This creates ordering constraints; for instance
drvdata may not be set yet when the first caller of drvdata() can
appear. It also forces the driver's bus device private data to outlive
all registrations that access it, which causes unnecessary
complications.

Private data should be private to the entity that issues it, i.e. bus
device private data belongs to bus callbacks, class device private data
to class callbacks, IRQ private data to the IRQ handler, etc.

With registration-private data now available through the auxiliary bus,
there is no remaining user of drvdata(), thus remove it.

<title>rust: dma: add generalized container for types other than slices</title>

<id>d9aee73c56ee971b08173071ad93fa5ebf00a32e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, `CoherentAllocation` is concecptually a DMA coherent container
of a slice of `[T]` of runtime-checked length. Generalize it by creating
`dma::Coherent&lt;T&gt;` which can hold any value of `T`.
`Coherent::alloc_with_attrs` is implemented but not yet exposed, as I
believe we should not expose the way to obtain an uninitialized coherent
region.

`Coherent&lt;[T]&gt;` provides a `len` method instead of the previous `count()`
method to be consistent with methods on slices.

The existing type is re-defined as a type alias of `Coherent&lt;[T]&gt;` to ease
transition. Methods in use are not yet removed.

Currently, `CoherentAllocation` is concecptually a DMA coherent container
of a slice of `[T]` of runtime-checked length. Generalize it by creating
`dma::Coherent&lt;T&gt;` which can hold any value of `T`.
`Coherent::alloc_with_attrs` is implemented but not yet exposed, as I
believe we should not expose the way to obtain an uninitialized coherent
region.

`Coherent&lt;[T]&gt;` provides a `len` method instead of the previous `count()`
method to be consistent with methods on slices.

The existing type is re-defined as a type alias of `Coherent&lt;[T]&gt;` to ease
transition. Methods in use are not yet removed.

We need the driver-core fixes in here as well to build on top of.

Currently, `dev_*` only works on the core `Device`, but not on any other
bus or class device objects. This causes a pattern of
`dev_info!(pdev.as_ref())` which is not ideal.

This adds support of using these devices directly with `dev_*` macros, by
adding `AsRef` call inside the macro. To make sure we can still use just
`kernel::device::Device`, as `AsRef` implementation is added for it; this
is typical for types that is designed to use with `AsRef` anyway, for
example, `str` implements `AsRef&lt;str&gt;` and `Path` implements `AsRef&lt;Path&gt;`.
