[PATCH] rust: fwctl: declare cfi_encoding for fwctl_rpc_scope

From: Alice Ryhl

Date: Tue Oct 20 2026 - 04:34:21 EST


Currently, VTable::fw_rpc_callback() takes scope as a u32, whereas C
calls fwctl_ops::fw_rpc with enum fwctl_rpc_scope. With kCFI enabled,
enum types are encoded distinctly from integers, causing every fw_rpc
indirect call into a Rust fwctl driver to trip a CFI failure. Thus,
generate fwctl_rpc_scope as a newtype with a cfi_encoding attribute and
use it in fw_rpc_callback().
