This patch series adds the serdev device bus rust abstraction into the
kernel.
This abstraction will be used by a driver,
which targets the MCU devices in Synology devices.
Kari Argillander also messaged me, stating that he wants to write a
watchdog driver with this abstraction (needing initial device data).
This series depends on [1].

Implement the basic serial device bus abstractions required to write a
serial device bus device driver with or without the need for initial device
data. This includes the following data structures:
The `serdev::Driver` trait represents the interface to the driver.
The `serdev::Device` abstraction represents a `struct serdev_device`.
In order to provide the Serdev specific parts to a generic
`driver::Registration` the `driver::RegistrationOps` trait is
implemented by `serdev::Adapter`.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Drivers cannot synchronously wait for data during `probe` without causing a deadlock, because `receive_buf_callback` blocks on a mutex held by `probe_callback`.
- [High] Concurrent device callbacks during unbind or probe failure lead to Use-After-Free (UAF) or NULL pointer dereference because driver data is cleared before the device is closed.
- [High] `Device::set_baudrate` incorrectly treats approximate baudrates as errors, which will fail driver initialization on many hardware platforms.

--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v14 1/3] rust: add basic serial device bus abstractions ---
Note: The format of this review is altered to provide a free-form summary of
the findings, rather than inline diff comments, due to system recitation
restrictions.
commit c091dc3bf08c045ff86b0afe5e41d3fd0a94bb83
Author: Markus Probst <markus.probst@posteo.de>
Subject: rust: add basic serial device bus abstractions
Implement the basic serial device bus abstractions required to write a
serial device bus device driver.
[Severity: High]
In Adapter<T>::probe_callback(), the code acquires the active mutex and
holds it across serdev_device_open() and data.__pinned_init(). If a driver
needs to send a command to the device and synchronously wait for a response
during its probe routine, won't this cause a deadlock?
When the device responds, Adapter<T>::receive_buf_callback() is invoked in
the RX workqueue and attempts to lock the exact same active mutex. Since
probe_callback() is blocked waiting for the response, and
receive_buf_callback() is blocked waiting for the mutex, the system seems
like it will deadlock. Is it possible to unlock before waiting, or use a
different synchronization strategy?
[Severity: High]
Looking at Adapter<T>::remove_callback(), it appears that T::unbind() is
called, but PrivateData is never explicitly dropped or obtained from the
device data, which might leave the device open and leak memory.
When remove_callback() returns, the C driver core sets drvdata to NULL. If
data arrives immediately after, receive_buf_callback() might read a NULL
pointer from drvdata_borrow() and dereference it.
Similarly, on a probe error in Adapter<T>::probe_callback(), ScopeGuard
clears drvdata before PrivateData's PinnedDrop implementation closes the
device. Does this create a race window where the device is still open and
receiving data while drvdata is NULL or in the process of being destroyed?
[Severity: High]
In Device::set_baudrate(), the success condition is checked using strict
equality (ret == speed).
Since serdev_device_set_baudrate() configures the hardware and returns the
actual achieved baudrate (or 0 on failure), hardware clock divider
limitations often result in a baudrate that is close but not exactly equal
to the requested speed (for example, returning 115198 when 115200 is
requested).
Will this strict equality check cause valid driver initializations to fail
on platforms that can only approximate the requested baudrate?

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The `remove_callback` function in the Rust `serdev` abstraction fails to free the driver's private data (`PrivateData`), leading to a memory leak when the device is unbound.
- [Medium] The `receive` callback returns the number of bytes written to the Tx buffer rather than the number of bytes consumed from the Rx buffer, which can permanently stall the TTY Rx path.
- [Low] The driver queries the non-standard device tree property `baudrate` instead of the standard `current-speed` to configure the serial speed.
- [Low] The driver registers an ACPI ID table but this behavior is entirely omitted from the commit message.

[Severity: Low]
Does this description omit the ACPI ID table?
Looking at ACPI_TABLE in rust_driver_serdev.rs, the driver also registers an
ACPI ID table for matching:
kernel::acpi_device_table!(
ACPI_TABLE,
MODULE_ACPI_TABLE,
<SampleDriver as serdev::Driver>::IdInfo,
[(acpi::DeviceId::new(c"LNUXBEEF"), ())]
);
Could the commit message be updated to mention the ACPI matching behavior as
well?

[Severity: Low]
Does this code use an incorrect, non-standard device tree property?
It looks like it queries c"baudrate" instead of the standard c"current-speed"
property, which could cause it to fail to configure the speed on platforms
compliant with standard bindings.

[Severity: Medium]
Could this permanently stall the TTY Rx path?
The receive callback appears to return the number of bytes written to the
Tx buffer rather than the number of bytes consumed from the Rx buffer.
If the Tx buffer is full, sdev.write() returns 0, and the TTY layer will
stop pushing data. Without a mechanism to wake up the Rx path when Tx space
becomes available, does this permanently stall the receiver?

I also noticed an issue in rust/kernel/serdev.rs during driver unbind:
rust/kernel/serdev.rs:remove_callback() {
...
let private_data = unsafe { sdev.as_ref().drvdata_borrow::<PrivateData<'_, T>>() };
// SAFETY: No one has exclusive access to private_data.driver.
let data = unsafe { &*private_data.driver.get() };
...
T::unbind(sdev, data_pinned);
}
[Severity: High]
Does this code leak the driver's private data?
The remove_callback() function appears to fail to free PrivateData because it
uses drvdata_borrow() instead of drvdata_obtain() on the teardown path, which
would take ownership back and allow the driver data allocation to be dropped
when the device is unbound.
