Here is a driver core new api for 6.14-rc3 that is being added to allow platform devices from stop being abused. It adds a new "faux_device" structure and bus and api to allow almost a straight or simpler conversion from platform devices that were not really a platform device. It also comes with a binding for rust, with an example driver in rust showing how it's used. I'm adding this now so that the patches that convert the different drivers and subsystems can all start flowing into linux-next now through their different development trees, in time for 6.15-rc1. We have a number that are already reviewed and tested, but adding those conversions now doesn't seem right. For now, no one is using this, and it passes all build tests from 0-day and linux-next, so all should be good.
