[PATCH v5 24/24] samples: rust: rust_driver_auxiliary: showcase lifetime-bound registration data
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 16:36:41 EST
Make the Data struct lifetime-parameterized, storing a reference to the
parent pci::Device<Bound>. This demonstrates that registration data can
hold device resources tied to the parent driver's lifetime.
In connect(), retrieve the parent PCI device from the registration data
rather than casting through adev.parent().
