Subject: [PATCH v2 06/16] rust: io: register: allow explicit base type specification
Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2026 17:35:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805-typed_register-v2-6-c3ca142220a0@garyguo.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805-typed_register-v2-0-c3ca142220a0@garyguo.net>
Currently registers work for all untyped I/O regions, which is not ideal.
It allows registers defined for device A to work for another device B and
there is no safeguarding at all.
All users of the `register!` macro know what type it will be operating on,
and that type is consistent across the driver. Therefore, add a `base`
parameter to `register!`.
Currently this parameter is unused in the generated code; it will be used
when all users of `register!` is converted to gain the parameter.
