[PATCH v2 0/5] Use struct devres_node in Devres<T>

[Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>]

Currently, the Devres<T> container uses devm_add_action() to register a
devres callback.

devm_add_action() allocates a struct action_devres, which on top of
struct devres_node, just keeps a data pointer and release function
pointer.

This is an unnecessary indirection, given that analogous to struct
devres, the Devres<T> container can just embed a struct devres_node
directly without an additional allocation.

In contrast to struct devres, we don't need to force an alignment of
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (as struct devres does to account for the worst case)
since we have generics in Rust. I.e. the compiler already ensures
correct alignment of the embedded T in Devres<T>.

Thus, get rid of devm_add_action() and instead embed a struct
devres_node directly.

This patch series is based on [1].

Changes in v2:
  - Prevent driver-core internal C APIs from potentially being called directly
    from driver modules due to monomorphisation, to prevent unnecessary symbol
    exports.

Danilo Krummrich (5):
  devres: move struct devres_node into base.h
  devres: export devres_node_init() and devres_node_add()
  devres: add devres_node_remove()
  devres: rename and export set_node_dbginfo()
  rust: devres: embed struct devres_node directly
