<title>rust: add `build_error!` to the prelude</title>

The sibling `build_assert!` is already in the prelude, it makes sense
that a "core"/"language" facility like this is part of the prelude and
users should not be defining their own one (thus there should be no risk
of future name collisions and we would want to be aware of them anyway).

Thus add `build_error!` into the prelude.

Pull char/misc/IIO/whatever driver subsystem updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the 'big and hairy' char/misc/iio and other small driver
  subsystem updates for 6.13-rc1.

  Loads of things in here, and even a fun merge conflict!

   - rust misc driver bindings and other rust changes to make misc
     drivers actually possible.

     I think this is the tipping point, expect to see way more rust
     drivers going forward now that these bindings are present. Next
     merge window hopefully we will have pci and platform drivers
     working, which will fully enable almost all driver subsystems to
     start accepting (or at least getting) rust drivers.

     This is the end result of a lot of work from a lot of people,
     congrats to all of them for getting this far, you've proved many of
     us wrong in the best way possible, working code :)

   - IIO driver updates, too many to list individually, that subsystem
     keeps growing and growing...

   - Interconnect driver updates

   - nvmem driver updates

   - pwm driver updates

   - platform_driver::remove() fixups, loads of them

   - counter driver updates

   - misc driver updates (keba?)

   - binder driver updates and fixes

   - loads of other small char/misc/etc driver updates and additions,
     full details in the shortlog.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no other
  reported issues other than that merge conflict"

Implement `dev_*` print macros for `device::Device`.

They behave like the macros with the same names in C, i.e., they print
messages to the kernel ring buffer with the given level, prefixing the
messages with corresponding device information.

`Vec` provides a contiguous growable array type with contents allocated
with the kernel's allocators (e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`).

In contrast to Rust's stdlib `Vec` type, the kernel `Vec` type considers
the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports
allocation failures through `Result&lt;_, AllocError&gt;` and remains
independent from unstable features.

[ This patch starts using a new unstable feature, `inline_const`, but
  it was stabilized in Rust 1.79.0, i.e. the next version after the
  minimum one, thus it will not be an issue. - Miguel ]

`Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type
with one of the kernel's allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or
`KVmalloc`.

In contrast to Rust's `Box` type, the kernel `Box` type considers the
kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports
allocation failures through `Result&lt;_, AllocError&gt;` and remains
independent from unstable features.

Sometimes it is necessary to split allocation and initialization into
two steps. One such situation is when reusing existing allocations
obtained via `Box::drop_contents`. See [1] for an example.

In order to support this use case add `write_[pin_]init` functions to the
pin-init API. These functions operate on already allocated smart
pointers that wrap `MaybeUninit&lt;T&gt;`.
