Currently, the driver's device private data is allocated and initialized
from driver core code called from bus abstractions after the driver's
probe() callback returned the corresponding initializer.
Similarly, the driver's device private data is dropped within the
remove() callback of bus abstractions after calling the remove()
callback of the corresponding driver.
However, commit 6f61a2637a ("rust: device: introduce
Device::drvdata()") introduced an accessor for the driver's device
private data for a Device<Bound>, i.e. a device that is currently bound
to a driver.
Obviously, this is in conflict with dropping the driver's device private
data in remove(), since a device can not be considered to be fully
unbound after remove() has finished:
We also have to consider registrations guarded by devres - such as IRQ
or class device registrations - which are torn down after remove() in
devres_release_all().
Thus, it can happen that, for instance, a class device or IRQ callback
still calls Device::drvdata(), which then runs concurrently to remove()
(which sets dev->driver_data to NULL and drops the driver's device
private data), before devres_release_all() started to tear down the
corresponding registration. This is because devres guarded registrations
can, as expected, access the corresponding Device<Bound> that defines
their scope.
In C it simply is the driver's responsibility to ensure that its device
private data is freed after e.g. an IRQ registration is unregistered.
Typically, C drivers achieve this by allocating their device private data
with e.g. devm_kzalloc() before doing anything else, i.e. before e.g.
registering an IRQ with devm_request_threaded_irq(), relying on the
reverse order cleanup of devres.
Technically, we could do something similar in Rust. However, the
resulting code would be pretty messy:
In Rust we have to differentiate between allocated but uninitialized
memory and initialized memory in the type system. Thus, we would need to
somehow keep track of whether the driver's device private data object
has been initialized (i.e. probe() was successful and returned a valid
initializer for this memory) and conditionally call the destructor of
the corresponding object when it is freed.
This is because we'd need to allocate and register the memory of the
driver's device private data *before* it is initialized by the
initializer returned by the driver's probe() callback, because the
driver could already register devres guarded registrations within
probe() outside of the driver's device private data initializer.
Luckily there is a much simpler solution: Instead of dropping the
driver's device private data at the end of remove(), we just drop it
after the device has been fully unbound, i.e. after all devres callbacks
have been processed.
For this, we introduce a new post_unbind() callback private to the
driver-core, i.e. the callback is neither exposed to drivers, nor to bus
abstractions.
This way, the driver-core code can simply continue to conditionally
allocate the memory for the driver's device private data when the
driver's initializer is returned from probe() - no change needed - and
drop it when the driver-core code receives the post_unbind() callback.

Implement the `AsBusDevice` trait for converting a `Device` reference to a
bus device reference for all bus devices.
The `AsBusDevice` trait allows abstractions to provide the bus device in
class device callbacks. It must not be used by drivers and is intended for

Currently, the parent method is implemented for any Device<Ctx>, i.e.
any device context and returns a &device::Device<Normal>.
However, a subsequent patch will introduce
impl Device<Bound> {
pub fn parent() -> device::Device<Bound> { ... }
}
which takes advantage of the fact that if the auxiliary device is bound
the parent is guaranteed to be bound as well.
I.e. the behavior we want is that all device contexts that dereference
to Bound, will use the implementation above, whereas the old
implementation should only be implemented for Device<Normal>.
Hence, move the current implementation.

Guarantee that an auxiliary driver will be unbound before its parent is
unbound; there is no point in operating an auxiliary device whose parent
has been unbound.
In practice, this guarantee allows us to assume that for a bound
auxiliary device, also the parent device is bound.
This is useful when an auxiliary driver calls into its parent, since it
allows the parent to directly access device resources and its device
private data due to the guaranteed bound device context.

The driver model defines the lifetime of the private data stored in (and
owned by) a bus device to be valid from when the driver is bound to a
device (i.e. from successful probe()) until the driver is unbound from
the device.
This is already taken care of by the Rust implementation of the driver
model. However, we still ask drivers to return a Result<Pin<KBox<Self>>>
from probe().
Unlike in C, where we do not have the concept of initializers, but
rather deal with uninitialized memory, drivers can just return an
impl PinInit<Self, Error> instead.
This contributes to more clarity to the fact that a driver returns it's
device private data in probe() and the Rust driver model owns the data,
manages the lifetime and - considering the lifetime - provides (safe)
accessors for the driver.
Hence, let probe() functions return an impl PinInit<Self, Error> instead
of Result<Pin<KBox<Self>>>.

Regardless of the DeviceContext of a device, we can't give any
guarantees about the DeviceContext of its parent device.
This is very subtle, since it's only caused by a simple typo, i.e.
Self::from_raw(parent)
which preserves the DeviceContext in this case, vs.
Device::from_raw(parent)
which discards the DeviceContext.
(I should have noticed it doing the correct thing in auxiliary::Device
subsequently, but somehow missed it.)
Hence, fix both Device::parent() and auxiliary::Device::parent().

Introduce a new trait `RawDeviceIdIndex`, which extends `RawDeviceId`
to provide support for device ID types that include an index or
context field (e.g., `driver_data`). This separates the concerns of
layout compatibility and index-based data embedding, and allows
`RawDeviceId` to be implemented for types that do not contain a
`driver_data` field. Several such structures are defined in
include/linux/mod_devicetable.h.
Refactor `IdArray::new()` into a generic `build()` function, which
takes an optional offset. Based on the presence of `RawDeviceIdIndex`,
index writing is conditionally enabled. A new `new_without_index()`
constructor is also provided for use cases where no index should be
written.
This refactoring is a preparation for enabling the PHY abstractions to
use the RawDeviceId trait.
The changes to acpi.rs and driver.rs were made by Danilo.
