[PATCH v2 0/2] rust: Add abstractions for applying devicetree overlays

[Ayush Singh]

The following patch series adds abstractions required to apply
devicetree overlays from Rust code. To see how the bindings look in
usage, see my working tree [0] for a connector driver  I am working on.

Open Questions
***************

1. Removing overlay on drop

I my usecase (see [0]), I will only ever have 1 active overlay in the
driver, which I will be removing dynamically. So removing overlay on
drop works for it. But maybe there are some usecases I am missing.

2. Only enable bindings when CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY is set?

The kernel header currently seems to provide blank implementations of
these methods when `CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY` is not enabled. But I am not sure
what is rust-for-linux policy here.

Ayush Singh

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on next-20250814
- Return error if buffer size too big instead of panic.
- Update the reference driver link.
- Use `to_of_node` on fwnode instead of getting of_node directly from
  struct device.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250422-rust-overlay-abs-v1-0-85779c1b853d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
