Subject: [PATCH v6 5/9] rust: io: add IoRef and IoWrite types
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 17:04:41 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216-register-v6-5-eec9a4de9e9e@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216-register-v6-0-eec9a4de9e9e@nvidia.com>

I/O accesses are defined by the following properties:

- For reads, a start address, a width, and a type to interpret the read
  value as,
- For writes, the same as above, and a value to write.

Introduce the `IoRef` trait, which allows implementing types to specify
the address a type expects to be accessed at, as well as the width of
the access, and the user-facing type used to perform the access.

This allows read operations to be made generic with the `read` method
over an `IoRef` argument.

Write operations need a value to write on top of the `IoRef`: fulfill
that purpose with the `IoWrite`, which is the combination of an `IoRef`
and a value of the type it expects. This allows write operations to be
made generic with the `write` method over a single `IoWrite` argument.

The main purpose of these new entities is to allow register types to be
written using these generic `read` and `write` methods of `Io`.

+///
+/// This trait is the key abstraction allowing [`Io::read`], [`Io::write`], and [`Io::update`]
+/// to work uniformly with both raw `usize` offsets (for primitive types like `u32`) and typed
+/// references.
+///

+///
+/// `T` and `IoType` may differ: for instance, a typed register has `T` = the register type with
+/// its bitfields, and `IoType` = its backing primitive (e.g. `u32`), with `From`/`Into`
+/// conversions between them.
