linux-next: build failure after merge of the rust tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

My first rust build error!  ;-)

After merging the rust tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

error: aborting due to 5 previous errors

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0308`.

Presumably caused by my merge resolutions involving commit

  d072acda4862 ("rust: use custom FFI integer types")

I have used the rust tree from next-20241108 for today.

Any help with the merge resolutions would be much appreciated.
