rust: i2c: make Driver trait lifetime-parameterized

2026-05-27T14:24:10+00:00

Add a 'bound lifetime to the associated Data, changing type Data to type Data<'bound>. This allows the driver's bus device private data to capture the device / driver bound lifetime; device resources can be stored directly by reference rather than requiring Devres. The probe() and unbind() callbacks thus gain a 'bound lifetime parameter on the methods themselves; avoiding a global lifetime on the trait impl. Existing drivers set type Data<'bound> = Self, preserving the current behavior.

rust: device: make Core and CoreInternal lifetime-parameterized

2026-05-27T14:22:42+00:00

Device references in probe callbacks are scoped to the callback, not the full binding duration. Add a lifetime parameter to Core and CoreInternal to accurately represent this in the type system.

rust: driver: decouple driver private data from driver type

2026-05-27T14:22:41+00:00

Add a type Data<'bound> associated type to all bus driver traits, decoupling the driver's bus device private data type from the driver struct itself. In the context of adding a 'bound lifetime, making this an associated type has the advantage that it allows us to avoid a driver trait global lifetime and it avoids the need for ForLt for bus device private data; both of which make the subsequent implementation by buses much simpler. All existing drivers and doc examples set type Data = Self to preserve the current behavior.
