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.

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.

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it
shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did
something. So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in

Rename module_init & module_exit functions that are named
"mod_init" and "mod_exit" so that they are unique in both the

Here is the big set of staging and IIO driver updates for 5.13-rc1.
Lots of little churn in here, and some larger churn as well. Major
things are:
- removal of wimax drivers, no one has this hardware anymore for
this failed "experiment".
- removal of the Google gasket driver, turns out no one wanted
to maintain it or cares about it anymore, so they asked for it
to be removed.
- comedi finally moves out of the staging directory into
drivers/comedi/ This is one of the oldest kernel subsystems
around, being created in the 2.0 kernel days, and was one of
the first things added to drivers/staging/ when that was
created over 15 years ago. It should have been moved out of
staging a long time ago, it's well maintained and used by
loads of different devices in the real world every day. Nice
to see this finally happen.
- so many tiny coding style cleanups it's not funny. Perfect
storm of at least 2 different intern project application
deadlines combined to provide a huge number of new
contributions in this area from people learning how to do
kernel development. Great job to everyone involved here.
There's also the normal updates for IIO drivers with new IIO drivers and
updates all over that subsystem.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

In the case where the pointer iface is null then the reporting of this
error will dereference iface when printing an error message causing which
is not ideal. Since the majority of callers to most_register_interface
report an error when -EINVAL is returned a simple fix is to just remove
the error message, I doubt it will be missed.

This patch replaces function module_init() with subsys_initcall().
It is needed to ensure that the core module of the driver is
initialized before a component tries to register with the core. This
leads to a NULL pointer dereference if the driver is configured as
in-tree.
