Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Derive 'Zeroable' for all structs and unions generated by 'bindgen'
     where possible and corresponding cleanups. To do so, add the
     'pin-init' crate as a dependency to 'bindings' and 'uapi'.

     It also includes its first use in the 'cpufreq' module, with more
     to come in the next cycle.

   - Add warning to the 'rustdoc' target to detect broken 'srctree/'
     links and fix existing cases.

   - Remove support for unused (since v6.16) host '#[test]'s,
     simplifying the 'rusttest' target. Tests should generally run
     within KUnit.

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add 'ptr' module with a new 'Alignment' type, which is always a
     power of two and is used to validate that a given value is a valid
     alignment and to perform masking and alignment operations:

         // Checked at build time.
         assert_eq!(Alignment::new::&lt;16&gt;().as_usize(), 16);

         // Checked at runtime.
         assert_eq!(Alignment::new_checked(15), None);

         assert_eq!(Alignment::of::&lt;u8&gt;().log2(), 0);

         assert_eq!(0x25u8.align_down(Alignment::new::&lt;0x10&gt;()), 0x20);
         assert_eq!(0x5u8.align_up(Alignment::new::&lt;0x10&gt;()), Some(0x10));
         assert_eq!(u8::MAX.align_up(Alignment::new::&lt;0x10&gt;()), None);

     It also includes its first use in Nova.

   - Add 'core::mem::{align,size}_of{,_val}' to the prelude, matching
     Rust 1.80.0.

   - Keep going with the steps on our migration to the standard library
     'core::ffi::CStr' type (use 'kernel::{fmt, prelude::fmt!}' and use
     upstream method names).

   - 'error' module: improve 'Error::from_errno' and 'to_result'
     documentation, including examples/tests.

   - 'sync' module: extend 'aref' submodule documentation now that it
     exists, and more updates to complete the ongoing move of 'ARef' and
     'AlwaysRefCounted' to 'sync::aref'.

   - 'list' module: add an example/test for 'ListLinksSelfPtr' usage.

   - 'alloc' module:

      - Implement 'Box::pin_slice()', which constructs a pinned slice of
        elements.

      - Provide information about the minimum alignment guarantees of
        'Kmalloc', 'Vmalloc' and 'KVmalloc'.

      - Take minimum alignment guarantees of allocators for
        'ForeignOwnable' into account.

      - Remove the 'allocator_test' (including 'Cmalloc').

      - Add doctest for 'Vec::as_slice()'.

      - Constify various methods.

   - 'time' module:

      - Add methods on 'HrTimer' that can only be called with exclusive
        access to an unarmed timer, or from timer callback context.

      - Add arithmetic operations to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.

      - Add a few convenience and access methods to 'HrTimer' and
        'Instant'.

  'macros' crate:

   - Reduce collections in 'quote!' macro.

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

drm::Device is only available when CONFIG_DRM=y, which we have to
consider for intra-doc links, otherwise the rustdoc make target produces
the following warning.

&gt;&gt; warning: unresolved link to `kernel::drm::Device`

   = note: `#[warn(rustdoc::broken_intra_doc_links)]` on by default

Fix this by making the intra-doc link conditional on CONFIG_DRM being enabled.

<content type='text'>
Update call sites in the driver-core files and its related samples
to import `ARef` and `AlwaysRefCounted` from `sync::aref`
instead of `types`.

This aligns with the ongoing effort to move `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` to sync.

The documentation for the generic Device type is outdated and deserves
much more detail.

Hence, expand the documentation and cover topics such as device types,
device contexts, as well as information on how to use the generic device
infrastructure to implement bus and class specific device types.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
     'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
     'ref_as_ptr'

     These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
     which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
     powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes

   - Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
     plural one in the previous cycle

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
     'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
     kernel parameters:

         warn_on!(value == 42);

     To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
     followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
     assembly between both C and Rust

     This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
     existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
     functional change expected there

   - 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
     'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
     'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:

         /// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
         /// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
         fn print_later(value: Arc&lt;MyStruct&gt;) {
             let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
         }

   - New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
     with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:

         static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
         static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));

         assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());

   - 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
     reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&amp;CStr'

     Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
     to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
     them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
     it to the prelude, too

   - Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
     with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
     take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
     it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
     some other cleanups

     Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
     and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances

   - 'dma' module:

      - Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature

      - Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'

      - Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'

      - Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add
        the corresponding type invariants

      - Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'

   - 'time' module:

      - Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
        compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
        'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source

      - Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
        take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
        depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
        check the type matches the timer mode

      - Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
        function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
        on the requested sleep time

      - Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
        timestamps

      - Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
        'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types

      - Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'

   - 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
     pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
     'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
     simplifications too

   - 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
     constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
     require 'into_foreign' to return non-null

     Remove the 'Either&lt;L, R&gt;' type as well. It is unused, and we want
     to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases

   - 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
     to allow them to be used in generic APIs

   - 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box&lt;T, A&gt;';
     and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec&lt;T, A&gt;'

   - 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
     that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
     'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it

   - 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method

   - 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
     'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
     we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
     in 'static_lock_class'

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Add 'impl&lt;T, E&gt; [Pin]Init&lt;T, E&gt; for Result&lt;T, E&gt;', so results are
     now (pin-)initializers

   - Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'

   - New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
     it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'

   - Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option&lt;&amp;T&gt;', 'Option&lt;&amp;mut T&gt;' and for
     'Option&lt;[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -&gt; ret&gt;' for
     '"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments

   - Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl&lt;T, E&gt;
     [Pin]Init&lt;T, E&gt; for T' to 'impl&lt;T&gt; [Pin]Init&lt;T&gt; for T'

   - Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'

   - Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
     '--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two
     '-next' branches in upstream and the kernel

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add Vlastimil Babka, Liam R. Howlett, Uladzislau Rezki and Lorenzo
     Stoakes as reviewers (thanks everyone)

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"
