[PATCH v2 2/4] rust: device: implement bus_type_raw()

From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Thu Mar 20 2025 - 18:29:38 EST


Implement bus_type_raw(), which returns a raw pointer to the device'
struct bus_type.

This is useful for bus devices, to implement the following trait.

impl TryFrom<&Device> for &pci::Device

With this a caller can try to get the bus specific device from a generic
device in a safe way. try_from() will only succeed if the generic
device' bus type pointer matches the pointer of the bus' type.
