`acpi::DeviceId` is an abstraction around `struct acpi_device_id`.
This is used by subsequent patches, in particular the i2c driver
abstractions, to create ACPI device ID tables.

I'm not seeing any "subsequent patches" here. Is this part of a patch
series that didn't all get sent out properly?

As Greg mentioned it would be nice to see the subsequent patches.
Also, for this to be useful you need to implement the generic glue code in
rust/kernel/driver.rs in the generic Adapter trait.
You also may want to connect it to the platform bus abstraction, just like the
OF bindings are, since I assume that's the bus you care about?

The patch did not land yet, but for this there's the following improvement
upcoming:

clone_from_slice() can't be used from const context, this comment is wrong in
of.rs (where you probably copied it from).

You can drop this cast, it shouldn't be needed anymore.

Ok. There's a little misunderstanding from my side. I'm in the
progress of implementation
of I2C driver abstractions. I2C drivers can use either "of" or "acpi".
The idea was to push this
change first, because:
- It's quite standalone one.
- I'm not sure how much time it will take me to finalize I2C drivers
abstractions.
If it is not appropriate way of commits, I'll then keep it until all is done.
Noted all the remarks. Will sort them in the next drop.
Thanks for the review.
Thanks
Igor

If you don't need it now, then there's no rush to get it merged now :)

We would like to see it be used first, to ensure that the code is
actually correct.

Alternatively, if you want to upstream this dependency already you can send the
following patches:
- this acpi::DeviceId abstraction
- the glue code for the generic adapter trait in rust/kernel/driver.rs
- use this glue code in the platform abstraction
- add acpi support to the platform sample driver
This way we can already validate that the code works correctly. All this is
required anyways if the I2C device you write a driver for is on the platform
bus.

A few questions if I may:
1. I committed to 4 different files: `acpi.rs`, `driver.rs`,
`platform.rs`, platform rust sample driver.
Should I commit all of this as one commit or split each part to a
separate commit and send it as a patch sequence?
2. From author's point of view, as Danilo noticed, `acpi table`
abstraction code is in general just copy-paste from `of table`
abstraction code. How should I explicitly mark that fact?
Thanks
Igor

Every entry of my list above should be a separate commit. It might happen that
writing the glue code for the generic adapter trait in rust/kernel/driver.rs
breaks the build in the platform abstraction, then you have to fix it up in the
same commit, i.e. we never break the build. Please also see [1].

You don't need to do anything specific here. You authored the commit, even
though it's based on existing code.
If you want you can add a note in the commit message that your case is based on
the OF table abstraction. But AFAIC, you don't have to.
