[PATCH v2 0/9] Implement "Bound" device context

[Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>]

Currently, we do not ensure that APIs that require a bound device instance can
only be called with a bound device.

Examples of such APIs are Devres, dma::CoherentAllocation and
pci::Device::iomap_region().

This patch series introduces the "Bound" device context such that we can ensure
to only ever pass a bound device to APIs that require this precondition.

In order to get there, we need some prerequisites:

(1) Implement macros to consistently derive Deref implementations for the
    different device contexts. For instance, Device<Core> can be dereferenced to
    Device<Bound>, since all device references we get from "core" bus callbacks
    are guaranteed to be from a bound device. Device<Bound> can always be
    dereferenced to Device (i.e. Device<Normal>), since the "Normal" device
    context has no specific requirements.

(2) Implement device context support for the generic Device type. Some APIs such
    as Devres and dma::CoherentAllocation work with generic devices.

(3) Preserve device context generics in bus specific device' AsRef
    implementation, such that we can derive the device context when converting
    from a bus specific device reference to a generic device reference.

With this, Devres::new(), for instance, can take a &Device<Bound> argument and
hence ensure that it can't be called with a Device reference that is not
guaranteed to be bound to a driver.

A branch containing the patches can be found in [1].

Changes in v2:
  - add a safety requirement for impl_device_context_deref! (thanks to Benno for
    working this out)
