Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.
Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
in here are:
- platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
to get here, finally!)
- Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
interactions.
It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
others can start their work.
There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.
- driver core const api changes.
This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
out.
This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
but are getting closer.
- minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection
- arch_topology minor changes
- other minor driver core cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
reported problems"

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.
Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.
For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().
This is less verbose.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the mostbus variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

The only usage of these is to put their addresses in arrays of pointers
to const attribute_groups. Make them const to allow the compiler to put
them in read-only memory.

In the case where the pointer iface is null then the reporting of this
error will dereference iface when printing an error message causing which
is not ideal. Since the majority of callers to most_register_interface
report an error when -EINVAL is returned a simple fix is to just remove
the error message, I doubt it will be missed.

This patch replaces function module_init() with subsys_initcall().
It is needed to ensure that the core module of the driver is
initialized before a component tries to register with the core. This
leads to a NULL pointer dereference if the driver is configured as
in-tree.

This patch moves the core module to the /drivers/most directory
and makes all necessary changes in order to not break the build.
