This patch series lays the groundwork for writing Linux I2C drivers in 
Rust by:

 1. Core abstractions 
    Introduce `i2c::I2cClient`, `i2c::I2cAdapter`, `i2c::Driver` and 
    built on the existing `struct i2c_client`, `struct i2c_adapter` 
    and `struct i2c_driver`, with safe Rust wrappers around probe, 
    transfer, and teardown logic.

 2. Manual device creation  
    Provide an API to register an I2C device at runtime from Rust using
    `I2cBoardInfo` and `I2cAdapter`, including automatic cleanup when 
    the driver unloads.

 3. Sample driver (legacy table, OF & ACPI)  
    Add `rust_driver_i2c`, a sample that:
      - creates an I2C client device using `i2c::Registration::new()`
      - binds to an I2C client via: 
        - legacy I2C-ID table, 
        - Open Firmware (device-tree) compatible strings, or
        - ACPI IDs.
      - destroyes the I2C client device on exit.

Together, these three patches:

- Establish the essential Rust traits and types for I2C drivers.
- Enable driver binding via legacy ID table, device-tree (OF), or ACPI
- Enable manual device creation at runtime.
- Ship a samples showing typical usage

Changelog
---------
v6:
 - Add implementation of unbind for `i2c::Driver` trait;
 - Add argument `Pin<&Self>` to `i2c::Driver::shutdown` method; 
 - Adjust usage of `i2c::Driver::shutdown` in 
   `i2c::Adapter::shutdown_callback` in `i2c::Driver` trait code 
   example and in rust_driver_i2c code;
 - Remove dummy AsRef implementation for I2cAdapter. Adjust code 
   in rust_driver_i2c;
 - Add `i2c::I2cAdapter::get_nr` method that returns I2cAdapter index;
 - Optimize unsafe sections in inc_ref/dec_ref in AlwaysRefCounted 
   for I2cAdapter implementation;

   I2cAdapter is always a reference;

 - Simplify call of `i2c::I2cAdapter::get` in `try_pin_init!` macro 
   for rust_driver_i2c
 - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250911154717.96637-1-igor.korotin.linux@gmail.com/ 
v5:
 - Rename missed pdev variables to idev (thanks to Daniel).
 - Import `crate::device_id::RawDeviceIdIndex` and 
   `crate::types::AlwaysRefCounted` in i2c.rs.
 - Switch dev_dbg to dev_info in the sample I2C driver messages.
 - Make `I2cAdapter::get()` return `ARef<I2cAdapter>` instead of 
   `&I2cAdapter`.
 - Remove `TryFrom<device::Device<Ctx>> for I2cAdapter<Ctx>` (unused; 
   to be reintroduced in a later I2C series).
 - Remove `AsRef<device::Device<Ctx>> for I2cAdapter<Ctx>` (unused; 
   to be reintroduced in a later I2C series).
 - Add `AsRef<I2cAdapter> for I2cAdapter<Ctx>`.
 - Use i2c_get/put_adapter instead of get/put_device for 
   `AlwaysRefCounted<I2cAdapter>`.
 - Update safety comment for `unsafe impl Sync for Registration {}`.
 - Tweak comment for `I2cBoardInfo::new`.
 - Adjust build-time assertion message in `Adapter::register`.
 - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250820151427.1812482-1-igor.korotin.linux@gmail.com/ 
v4:
 - Renamed `i2c::I2cAdapterRef` to `i2c::I2cAdapter`.
 - Renamed `i2c::Device` to `i2c::I2cClient` for consistency with 
   `i2c::I2cAdapter` and to avoid confusion with `i2c::Adapter`
 - Reworked `i2c::I2cAdapter` to be an Opaque around `i2c_adapter` struct
 - Implemented AlwaysRefCounted trait for `i2c::I2cAdapter`. 
 - Fixed numerous comment mistakes and typos all over the code, thanks 
   to Danilo and Daniel
 - Got rid of all unwrap() use-cases in i2c.rs and rust_driver_i2c.rs.
   This covers 0-day kernel panic <202508071027.8981cbd4-lkp@intel.com>
 - Removed unnecessary casts.
 - Replaced all addr_of_mut! macros to &raw mut.
 - In `i2c::Adapter::register` method build assert if all ID tables are 
   None.
 - Renamed all pdrv and pdev instances to idrv and idev respectivly 
 - Implemented an ealry return in `i2c::Adapter::i2c_id_info`
 - Added all missing Safety comments. 
 - Removed `unsafe impl<Ctx: device::DeviceContext> crate::types::AlwaysRefCounted for Device<Ctx>` 
   implementation which came to v3 from v2 by mistake.
 - Added more details regarding i2c-stub driver usage in rust_driver_i2c
   comment.
 - Changed `i2c::I2cAdapter::get` return type from `Option<Self>` to 
   `Result<&'static Self>`.
 - Added Daniel Almeida as a reviewer to the "I2C Subsystem [RUST]" entry 
   in MAINTAINERS, per his offer.
 - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250801153742.13472-1-igor.korotin.linux@gmail.com/
v3: 
 - removed unnecessary i2c_get_clientdata and i2c_set_clientdata rust 
   helpers. Using generic accessors implemented in [1] instead.
 - Reimplemented i2c::DeviceId based on changes in [2].
 - Using from_result in i2c::Adapter::probe_callback
 - Using explicit drop() for i2c client private data in 
   `i2c::Adapter::remove_callback`
 - replaced device::Device::as_ref() with device::Device::from_raw in 
   `i2c::Device::as_ref()`. It is renamed in device::Device.
 - Build Rust I2C only if I2C is built-in
 - Reimplement overcomplicated trait i2c::DeviceOwned the same way it is 
   implemented in auxiliary [3].
 - Merge rust_device_i2c and rust_driver_i2c samples. Resulting 
   rust_driver_i2c creates pined i2c_client using i2c::Registration::new 
   and probes newly created i2c_client.
 - Created a new entry in MAINTAINERS file containing i2c.rs and 
   rust_driver_i2c.rs in it.

   as a sign if the device is created manually
 - Added `DeviceOwned` abstraction which is a safe reference to a 
   manually created `i2c::Device<Ctx, state::Owned>`. 
 - Added Rust manual I2C device creation sample
