Merge tag 'dd-lifetimes-7.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core into drm-rust-next
Higher-Ranked Lifetime Types for Rust device drivers Replace drvdata() with registration data on the auxiliary bus. Private data is now scoped to the registration object, removing the ordering constraints and lifetime complications that came with drvdata(). Add Higher-Ranked Lifetime Types (HRT) so driver structs can borrow device resources like pci::Bar and IoMem directly, tied to the device binding scope. This removes the need for Devres indirection and ARef<Device> in most driver code. This is a stable tag for other trees to merge. Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>
