Apologies, I just realized this is a leftover which triggers the following error:

warning: unused import: `num::Bounded`
--> ../drivers/gpu/nova-core/falcon.rs:24:5
|
24 | num::Bounded,
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unused_imports)]` (part of `#[warn(unused)]`) on by default

Not sure how it slipped in as I build each patch individually in my
checklist script. Thankfully this is easily fixed.

The silver lining is that this shows that despite the heavy reliance on
`Bounded` for register bitfields, this heavy user does not need to
create a single one explicitly. :)
