   by the Rust null block driver

 - Fix clearing the current charp parameter value when setting a new one
   fails due to an allocation failure

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "container_of:

   - Apply typeof_member(), remove the local __mptr variable to
     eliminate variable shadowing warnings on nested container_of()
     calls, and remove unnecessary parentheses

  core:

   - Add driver name to probe debug print for initcall_debug

   - Avoid repeatedly printing the same 'Fixed dependency cycle' log

   - Unwind device_add() on attribute creation failure in
     attribute_container_add_class_device()

  debugfs:

   - Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare()

   - Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs

  device property:

   - Implement fw_devlink support for software nodes by adding
     software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
     DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
     kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage

   - Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the
     secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases

     called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)

   - Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()

   - Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer

  firmware loader:

   - Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
     queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
     request

   - Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
     firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE

  kobject:

   - Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
     and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
     to reside in read-only memory

  platform:

   - Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
     and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
     firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
     devices

     Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
     dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
     to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
     nodes

   - Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
     by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter
     API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add
     KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device
     unregistration

  Rust:

   - Auxiliary:
       - Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant
         ForLt types

   - Debugfs:
       - Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements
         from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits

   - Device:
       - Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait
         for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound
         device.
       - Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent
         coercion to shorter lifetimes

   - Devres:
       - Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker
         could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the
         inner data, causing use-after-free.
       - Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes
         unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional.
       - Add DevresLt<F: ForLt>, a wrapper around Devres that shortens
         'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and
         CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem

   - Driver:
       - Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup,
         storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID
         handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF
         matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs

   - I/O:
       - Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type
         for the existing untyped case), create view types representing
         subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for
         safely creating subviews.
       - Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io)
         with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from
         overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on.
       - Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile
         access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type.
         Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying
         methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for
         typed access.
       - Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!()
         for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old
         macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection.
       - Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro,
         remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias
         destinations

   - IRQ:
       - Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers
         by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and
         replacing Devres<RegistrationInner> with direct
         request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own
         lifetime-bound device resources

   - PCI:
       - Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning
         type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation
         lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the
         conversion infallible. Remove the redundant
         request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device.
       - Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on
         IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX,
         PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX.
       - Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline

   - Serdev:
       - Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including
         serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct
         serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing
         RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes
         over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code

   - Misc:
       - Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of<'a> GAT) and an
         unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance,
         enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex<&'bound T>)
         to participate in the ForLt abstraction.
       - Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero.
       - Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef

  misc:
   - Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using
     kernfs_iattrs_noalloc().
   - Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure.
   - Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol.
   - Fix /sys/module path in comment.
   - Refactor ISA bus init to remove nested blocks.
   - Remove redundant nodemask clears in numa_init().
   - Add kernel-doc for fwnode_operations and sys_soc.h, mark
     internal property data as private for kernel-doc, and add
     property.h/fwnode.h to driver-api infrastructure docs.
   - Add MAINTAINERS entry for sys_soc.h"

[ Fixed `rusttest` by adding a dummy `LocalModule`. Removed interim
  `#[allow(dead_code)]`. - Miguel ]
Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

Since `const_refs_to_static` has been stable as of the MSRV bump, a
`ThisModule` pointer can now be used in const contexts.

Add a `THIS_MODULE` const to the `ModuleMetadata` trait so that modules
can provide their `ThisModule` pointer in const contexts such as static
`file_operations`.

Add a `this_module()` helper to retrieve the `THIS_MODULE` pointer of a
given module type, and update `__init` to use it instead of the
`THIS_MODULE` static generated by the `module!` macro.

The `static THIS_MODULE` generated by the `module!` macro is retained
for backwards compatibility with existing users and removed in a later
patch once all references have been migrated.

Add support for parsing boolean module parameters in the Rust
module! macro.

Currently, only integer types are supported by the `module_param!`
macros. This patch implements the `ModuleParam` trait for `bool`
by delegating the string parsing to the existing C implementation
via `kstrtobool_bytes()`. It also wires up `PARAM_OPS_BOOL` so that
the Rust parameter system correctly links to the C `param_ops_bool`
structure.

For demonstration and verification, a boolean parameter is added
to `samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`.

Support for boolean parameters will initially be used by the Rust
null block driver [1].

does the same thing.

There are a few users of `__init` which are replaced as well.

Add a new ForLt trait as a base for CovariantForLt:

  - ForLt (non-unsafe): represents a type generic over a lifetime, with
    no covariance guarantee.

  - CovariantForLt (unsafe): becomes a subtrait of ForLt that
    additionally proves the type is covariant over its lifetime
    parameter, providing a safe cast_ref() method.

This split allows non-covariant types (e.g. types behind a Mutex) to
implement ForLt and participate in DevresLt / registration data patterns
that use HRTB closures for sound access, without requiring a covariance
proof that would fail to compile.

Both macros share the UnsafeForLtImpl helper type, distinguished by
a const generic N: ForLt! emits N = 0 (no covariance proof),
CovariantForLt! emits N = 1 (with compile-time covariance proof).

Rename ForLt to CovariantForLt to prepare for the introduction of a new
ForLt base trait that does not require covariance.

The existing ForLt trait requires covariance, which enables the safe
cast_ref() method. This rename preserves the same semantics under a more
precise name, making room for a weaker ForLt trait in a subsequent
commit.

No functional change.

There are a few cases, e.g. when dealing with data referencing each
other, one might want to write code that is generic over lifetimes. For
example, if you want to take a function that takes `&'a Foo` and gives
`Bar<'a>`, you can write:

    f: impl for<'a> FnOnce(&'a Foo) -> Bar<'a>,

However, it becomes tricky when you want that function to not have a
fixed `Bar`, but have it be generic again. In this case, one needs
something that is generic over types that are themselves generic over
lifetimes.

`ForLt` provides such support. It provides a trait `ForLt` which
describes a type generic over a lifetime. One may use `ForLt::Of<'a>` to
get an instance of a type for a specific lifetime.

For the case of cross referencing, one would almost always want the
lifetime to be covariant. Therefore this is also made a requirement for
the `ForLt` trait, so functions with `ForLt` trait bound can assume
covariance.

A macro `ForLt!()` is provided to be able to obtain a type that
implements `ForLt`. For example, `ForLt!(for<'a> Bar<'a>)` would yield a
type that `<TheType as ForLt>::Of<'a>` is `Bar<'a>`. This also works
with lifetime elision, e.g. `ForLt!(Bar<'_>)` or for types without
lifetime at all, e.g. `ForLt!(u32)`.

The API design draws inspiration from the higher-kinded-types [1] crate,
however a different design decision has been taken (e.g. covariance
requirement) and the implementation is independent.

License headers use "Apache-2.0 OR MIT" because I anticipate this to be
used in pin-init crate too which is licensed as such.
