Many thanks for this!

On x86 having CONFIG_OF_UNITTESTS enabled I get

rust_driver_platform testcase-data:platform-tests:test-device@2: Probed 
by OF compatible match: 'test,rust-device' with info: '42'.
rust_driver_platform testcase-data:platform-tests:test-device@2: matched 
compatible string idx = 0
rust_driver_platform testcase-data:platform-tests:test-device@2: bool 
prop is false
rust_driver_platform testcase-data:platform-tests:test-device@2: 
'test,u32-prop' is 0xdeadbeef
rust_driver_platform testcase-data:platform-tests:test-device@2: 
'test,i16-array' is [1, 2, -3, -4]
rust_driver_platform testcase-data:platform-tests:test-device@2: 
'test,i16-array' length is 4

with this. Looks good :)

I'm not sure if it makes sense for an RFC patch series but in case it helps:

Tested-by: Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@de.bosch.com>

Some comments will follow in the individual patches.

Best regards

Dirk
