[PATCH v3 4/4] rust: drm: dispatch delayed work items to the private data

From: Daniel Almeida

Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 19:30:41 EST


Much like the patch that dispatched (regular) work items, we also need to
dispatch delayed work items in order not to trigger the orphan rule. This
allows a drm::Device<T> to dispatch the delayed work to T::Data.
