I/O accesses are defined by the following properties:
- An I/O location, which consists of a start address, a width, and a
type to interpret the read value as,
- A value, which is returned for reads or provided for writes.
Introduce the `IoLoc` trait, which allows implementing types to fully
specify an I/O location.
This allows I/O operations to be made generic through the new `read` and
`write` methods.
This design will allow us to factorize the I/O code working with
primitives, and to introduce ways to perform I/O with a higher degree of
control through register types.

[ Fix incorrect reference to io_addr_assert() in try_update(). - Danilo ]
Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>
Relaxed I/O accessors for `Mmio` are currently implemented as an extra
set of methods that mirror the ones defined in `Io`, but with the
`_relaxed` suffix.
This makes these methods impossible to use with generic code, which is a
highly plausible proposition now that we have the `Io` trait.
Address this by adding a new `RelaxedMmio` wrapper type for `Mmio` that
provides its own `IoCapable` implementations relying on the relaxed C
accessors. This makes it possible to use relaxed operations on a `Mmio`
simply by wrapping it, and to use `RelaxedMmio` in code generic against
`Io`.

[ Use kernel import style in examples. - Danilo ]
Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>
The `_relaxed` I/O variant methods are about to be replaced by a wrapper
type exposing this access pattern with the regular methods of the `Io`
trait. Thus replace the examples to use the regular I/O methods.
Since these are examples, we want them to use the most standard ops
anyway, and the relaxed variants were but an addition that was
MMIO-specific.

`IoCapable<T>` is currently used as a marker trait to signal that the
methods of the `Io` trait corresponding to `T` have been overridden by
the implementor (the default implementations triggering a build-time
error).
This goes against the DRY principle and separates the signaling of the
capability from its implementation, making it possible to forget a step
while implementing a new `Io`.
Another undesirable side-effect is that it makes the implementation of
I/O backends boilerplate-y and convoluted: currently this is done using
two levels of imbricated macros that generate unsafe code.
Fix these issues by turning `IoCapable` into a functional trait that
includes the raw implementation of the I/O access for `T` using
unsafe methods that work with an arbitrary address.
This allows us to turn the default methods of `Io` into regular methods
that check the passed offset, turn it into an address, and call into the
corresponding `IoCapable` functions, removing the need to overload them
at all.
`IoCapable` must still be implemented for all supported primitive types,
which is still done more concisely using a macro, but this macro becomes
much simpler and does not require calling into another one.

Pull Rust fixes from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Remap paths to avoid absolute ones starting with the upcoming Rust
1.95.0 release. This improves build reproducibility, avoids leaking
the exact path and avoids having the same path appear in two forms
The approach here avoids remapping debug information as well, in
order to avoid breaking tools that used the paths to access source
files, which was the previous attempt that needed to be reverted
- Allow 'unused_features' lint for the upcoming Rust 1.96.0 release.
While well-intentioned, we do not benefit much from the new lint
- Emit dependency information into '$(depfile)' directly to avoid a
temporary '.d' file (it was an old approach)
'kernel' crate:
- 'str' module: fix warning under '!CONFIG_BLOCK' by making
'NullTerminatedFormatter' public
- 'cpufreq' module: suppress false positive Clippy warning
'pin-init' crate:
- Remove '#[disable_initialized_field_access]' attribute which was
unsound. This means removing the support for structs with unaligned
fields (through the 'repr(packed)' attribute), for now
And document the load-bearing fact of field accessors (i.e. that
they are required for soundness)
- Replace shadowed return token by 'unsafe'-to-create token in order
to remain sound in the face of the likely upcoming Type Alias Impl
Trait (TAIT) and the next trait solver in upstream Rust"
* tag 'rust-fixes-7.0-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux:

As kernel always use unsigned char and not the platform ABI's default, an
user should always use `as_char_ptr` provided via `CStrExt` instead.
Therefore configure `disallow-methods` feature of clippy to catch incorrect
usage.
Similarly, the dual `from_ptr` is also disallowed.
[ As an example, without the previous commit, we would get a warning like:
