So, you mean some abstraction that takes a list of types, offsets in the firmware and a reference to the firmware itself and provides references to the corresponding objects? I agree it might be helpful to have some common infrastructure for this, but the operations on it would still be unsafe, since ultimately it involves dereferencing pointers. > > Thanks, > Zhi. > > > The firmware is released once the abstraction is dropped. > > > > Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich > > --- > > rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h | 1 + > > rust/kernel/firmware.rs | 74 > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ rust/kernel/lib.rs | > > 1 + 3 files changed, 76 insertions(+) > > create mode 100644 rust/kernel/firmware.rs > > > > diff --git a/rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h > > b/rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h index b245db8d5a87..e4ffc47da5ec > > 100644 --- a/rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h > > +++ b/rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h > > @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ > > #include > > #include > > #include > > +#include > > #include > > #include > > #include > > diff --git a/rust/kernel/firmware.rs b/rust/kernel/firmware.rs > > new file mode 100644 > > index 000000000000..700504fb3c9c > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/rust/kernel/firmware.rs > > @@ -0,0 +1,74 @@ > > +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 > > + > > +//!
