Merged into drm-rust-next, thanks! With two minor edits:

    [acourbot: pass `GspBootContext` by value to `Gsp::boot`.]                                                                                   │

So the boot context can be modified by `Gsp::boot` if needed (although
that shouldn't be necessary, but it is more natural to pass by value
here regardless).

    [acourbot: deconstruct `GspBootContext` in `Gsp::boot` to simplify diff.]   

To stay consistent with what was done in the HALs. This also makes the
diff considerably smaller and easier to parse.
