[PATCH v2] rust: pci: Use explicit types in FFI callbacks

[PATCH v2] rust: pci: Use explicit types in FFI callbacks

[herculoxz]

From: Abhinav Ananthu <abhinav.ogl@gmail.com>

Update PCI FFI callback signatures to use `c_int` from the prelude,
instead of accessing it via `kernel::ffi::c_int`.

This follows Rust-for-Linux coding guidelines and improves ABI
correctness when interfacing with C code.

I think this still sounds like it is fixing an ABI issue -- I would
probably just remove that second sentence.

(But no need for a v3 -- I think it can be fixed on apply unless
Danilo wants it).

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel

I agree, the types exported via prelude are the ones from kernel::ffi.

Yeah, I can fix it up when applying the patch.

I also think the subject from v1, i.e. "use c_* types via kernel prelude", was
better. This one is a bit misleading, the types in the FFI callbacks are already
explicit.

Unless I hear otherwise, I will also revert the subject to the one of v1 when I
apply the patch.

Thanks,
Danilo
