    Merge tag 'driver-core-6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
    
    Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
     "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"
