Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] drm/nova: use `zerocopy` in booter.rs
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 14:40:53 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701174056.12604-3-niyudi.honda@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701174056.12604-1-niyudi.honda@gmail.com>
From: Pedro Yudi Honda <niyudi.honda@usp.br>
In firmware/booter.rs, replace the following `transmute` traits with
their `zerocopy` equivalents:
- `transmute::FromBytes` -> `zerocopy::FromBytes`
Update call sites accordingly.
