[PATCH v2 2/2] rust: add firmware abstractions

Danilo Krummrich
2024-06-10T18:03:37Z

Add an abstraction around the kernels firmware API to request firmware
images. The abstraction provides functions to access the firmware's size
and backing buffer.

The firmware is released once the abstraction instance is dropped.
