Correct, and as it stands DriverData is only directly used for
Device::drvdata_obtain(), which doesn't necessarily need the covariance
guarantee the ForLt bound provides.
However, I chose to use ForLt regardless as it prevents future users of
DriverData from running into the covariance trap, plus it keeps the code more
streamlined in the driver-core and in buses.
