Here is the big set of driver core updates for 6.15-rc1. Lots of stuff
happened this development cycle, including:
- kernfs scaling changes to make it even faster thanks to rcu
- bin_attribute constify work in many subsystems
- faux bus minor tweaks for the rust bindings
- rust binding updates for driver core, pci, and platform busses,
making more functionaliy available to rust drivers. These are all
due to people actually trying to use the bindings that were in 6.14.
- make Rafael and Danilo full co-maintainers of the driver core
codebase
- other minor fixes and updates.
This has been in linux-next for a while now, with the only reported
issue being some merge conflicts with the rust tree. Depending on which
tree you pull first, you will have conflicts in one of them. The merge
resolution has been in linux-next as an example of what to do, or can be
found here:

The instance of Self, returned and created by Driver::probe() is
dropped in the bus' remove() callback.
Request implementers of the Driver trait to implement Send, since the
remove() callback is not guaranteed to run from the same thread as
probe().

Commit 4d320e30ee04 ("rust: platform: fix unrestricted &mut
platform::Device") changed the definition of platform::Device and
discarded the implicitly derived Send and Sync traits.
This isn't required by upstream code yet, and hence did not cause any
issues. However, it is relied on by upcoming drivers, hence add it back
in.

As by now, platform::Device is implemented as:
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct Device(ARef<device::Device>);
This may be convenient, but has the implication that drivers can call
device methods that require a mutable reference concurrently at any
point of time.
Instead define platform::Device as
pub struct Device<Ctx: DeviceContext = Normal>(
Opaque<bindings::platform_dev>,
PhantomData<Ctx>,
);
and manually implement the AlwaysRefCounted trait.
With this we can implement methods that should only be called from
bus callbacks (such as probe()) for platform::Device<Core>. Consequently,
we make this type accessible in bus callbacks only.
Arbitrary references taken by the driver are still of type
ARef<platform::Device> and hence don't provide access to methods that are
reserved for bus callbacks.

In the `module!` macro, the `author` field is currently of type `String`.
Since modules can have multiple authors, this limitation prevents
specifying more than one.
Add an `authors` field as `Option<Vec<String>>` to allow creating
modules with multiple authors, and change the documentation and all
current users to use it. Eventually, the single `author` field may
be removed.
[ The `modinfo` key needs to still be `author`; otherwise, tooling
may not work properly, e.g.:
$ modinfo --author samples/rust/rust_print.ko
Rust for Linux Contributors
I have also kept the original `author` field (undocumented), so
that we can drop it more easily in a kernel cycle or two.

The `RegistrationOps` trait holds some obligations to the caller and
implementers. While being documented, the trait and the corresponding
functions haven't been marked as unsafe.
Hence, markt the trait and functions unsafe and add the corresponding
safety comments.
This patch does not include any fuctional changes.

Implement the basic platform bus abstractions required to write a basic
platform driver. This includes the following data structures:
The `platform::Driver` trait represents the interface to the driver and
provides `platform::Driver::probe` for the driver to implement.
The `platform::Device` abstraction represents a `struct platform_device`.
In order to provide the platform bus specific parts to a generic
`driver::Registration` the `driver::RegistrationOps` trait is implemented
by `platform::Adapter`.
