[PATCH v5 07/24] rust: platform: implement Sync for Device<Bound>

From: Danilo Krummrich

Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 16:30:52 EST


Implement Sync for Device<Bound> in addition to Device<Normal>.

Device<Bound> uses the same underlying struct platform_device as
Device<Normal>; Bound is a zero-sized type-state marker that does not
affect thread safety.

This is needed for drivers to store &'bound platform::Device<Bound> in
their private data while remaining Send.
