This patch series adds the serdev device bus rust abstraction into the
kernel.
This abstraction will be used by a driver,
which targets the MCU devices in Synology devices.
Kari Argillander also messaged me, stating that he wants to write a
watchdog driver with this abstraction (needing initial device data).
@Rob: Are you willing to maintain these rust abstractions yourself,
as you are the expert on this subsystem, otherwise I would take care of
it with a "SERIAL DEVICE BUS [RUST]" section in the MAINTAINERS file. In
the second case, I assume you are going to pick those patches as-is into
your tree, after they have been reviewed?

Changes in v2:
- fix documentation in `serdev::Driver::write` and
`serdev::Driver::write_all`
- remove use of `dev_info` in probe from the sample
- remove `properties_parse` from the sample
- add optional `baudrate` property to the sample
- remove 1. patch
- remove `TryFrom<&device::Device<Ctx>> for &serdev::Device<Ctx>`
implementation
- fix import style
- add patch to return reference in `devres::register` to fix safety
issue
- add patch to add private data to serdev_device, to fix
`Device.drvdata()` from failing
- simplify abstraction by removing ability to receive the initial
transmission. It may be added later in a separate patch series if
needed.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251220-rust_serdev-v1-0-e44645767621@posteo.de

Return the reference to the initialized data in the `devres::register`
function.
This is needed in a following commit (rust: add basic serial device bus
abstractions).

Implement the basic serial device bus abstractions required to write a
serial device bus device driver with or without the need for initial device
data. This includes the following data structures:
The `serdev::Driver` trait represents the interface to the driver.
The `serdev::Device` abstraction represents a `struct serdev_device`.
In order to provide the Serdev specific parts to a generic
`driver::Registration` the `driver::RegistrationOps` trait is
implemented by `serdev::Adapter`.

Add a sample Rust serial device bus device driver illustrating the usage
of the serial device bus abstractions.
This drivers probes through either a match of device / driver name or a
match within the OF ID table.

I don't quite get why each changed line has an extra tab added to it. ?
Also, struct member names in kernel-doc should with a colon (':'), e.g.,
* @private_data: Private data for the device driver.
Please correct that and the 2 lines above it also.
And maybe test it to check for warnings.

So all the fields have the same indentation.
Otherwise the description of private_data, because of its length, would
be 1 character more to the right.

I think this is a bit misleading, as the driver's device private data is stored
in the embedded struct device. This seems to be more about having a place to
store private data of the Rust abstraction.
So, you may want to name this something along the lines of rust_private_data.
Additionally, you should make it very clear that this field must not be used by
drivers directly (i.e. C drivers could easily be tempted to abuse this).
