Subject: [PATCH v2 10/33] rust: remove `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE` and simplify code
Date: Mon,  6 Apr 2026 01:52:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405235309.418950-11-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405235309.418950-1-ojeda@kernel.org>

With the Rust version bump in place, the `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE`
Kconfig (automatic) option is always true.

Thus remove the option and simplify the code.

In particular, this includes removing our use of the predecessor unstable
features we used with Rust < 1.84.0 (`coerce_unsized`, `dispatch_from_dyn`
and `unsize`).
