Subject: [PATCH 17/24] rust: i2c: make Driver trait lifetime-parameterized
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:11:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427221155.2144848-18-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427221155.2144848-1-dakr@kernel.org>

Make i2c::Driver take a lifetime parameter 'a that ties device resources
to the binding scope.

Internally, Adapter<T: Driver> becomes Adapter<F: ForLt> with a bound
for<'a> F::Of<'a>: Driver<'a>; module_i2c_driver! wraps the driver type
in ForLt!() so drivers don't have to.
