[PATCH 15/24] samples: rust: rust_driver_auxiliary: showcase lifetime-bound registration data

Danilo Krummrich
2026-04-27T22:13:42Z

Make the Data struct lifetime-parameterized, storing a reference to the
parent pci::Device<Bound>. This demonstrates that registration data can
hold device resources tied to the parent driver's lifetime.

In connect(), retrieve the parent PCI device from the registration data
rather than casting through adev.parent().
