[PATCH v2 0/8] rust: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}`

[PATCH v2 0/8] rust: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}`

[Tamir Duberstein]

This is series 2a/5 of the migration to `core::ffi::CStr`[0].
20250704-core-cstr-prepare-v1-0-a91524037783@gmail.com.

This series depends on the prior series[0] and is intended to go through
the rust tree to reduce the number of release cycles required to
complete the work.

Subsystem maintainers: I would appreciate your `Acked-by`s so that this
can be taken through Miguel's tree (where the other series must go).

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on rust-next.
- Drop pin-init patch, which is no longer needed.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250709-core-cstr-fanout-1-v1-0-64308e7203fc@gmail.com

VFS should be Cc'd on this one, so doing so here.

Christian: I will eventually apply this series, so please let me know
if you are against this one (Acked-by's appreciated, of course),
thanks!

Reduce coupling to implementation details of the formatting machinery by
avoiding direct use for `core`'s formatting traits and macros.

Same here as in step 2b/5, i.e. Danilo's Acked-by was picked up for
things he didn't Acked-by.

I imagine it was automatically done by `b4`, but that is why we need
to be careful about automatically applying tags. I am mentioning this
mainly to confirm I am not confused and to avoid forgetting about it,
and also I hope it helps if you eventually apply patches yourself,
e.g. if you eventually take care of a branch yourself.

Cheers,
Miguel

Yes, you are right.

You're not confused, and I appreciate you calling it out. I'll look
out for this kind of thing in the future.

Thanks Miguel.
