[PATCH v3 05/19] rust: io: generalize `MmioRaw` to pointer to arbitrary type
From: Gary Guo
Date: Mon Jun 08 2026 - 16:01:50 EST
Conceptually, `MmioRaw` is just `__iomem *`, so it should work for any
types. Update the existing use case where it represents a region of
compile-time known minimum size and run-time known actual size to use the
dynamic-sized type `Region<SIZE>` instead. Rename `maxsize` method to
reflect that it is the actual size (not a bound) of the region.
Implement `Clone` and `Copy` manually, which cannot be derived due to the
generic parameter. The use of raw pointers also cause the `Send` and `Sync`
auto trait implementation to be lost, so add them back by manual
implementation.
