[PATCH v6 3/4] rust: replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings
From: Tamir Duberstein
Date: Sun Feb 02 2025 - 07:21:34 EST
C-String literals were added in Rust 1.77. Replace instances of
`kernel::c_str!` with C-String literals where possible and rename
`kernel::c_str!` to `c_str_avoid_literals` to clarify its intended use.
Closes: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1075
Signed-off-by: Tamir Duberstein <tamird@xxxxxxxxx>
