Covering platform device/driver abstractions in the same series would
be appreciated from asahi side. It hopefully results in earlier merge
since it avoids a dependency on the device driver abstractions.
Feel free to reach out to me for an earlier preview / rabsing of the
asahi driver.
https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux/tree/bits/210-gpu has all relevant
rust changes from 6.11-rc but I plan to rebase onto 6.11 in the next
days and possibly import changes from 6.12-rc* / rust-next.

Thanks
