[PATCH v2 4/4] rust: platform: impl TryFrom<&Device> for &platform::Device

From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Thu Mar 20 2025 - 18:30:20 EST


Implement TryFrom<&device::Device> for &Device.

This allows us to get a &platform::Device from a generic &Device in a safe
way; the conversion fails if the device' bus type does not match with
the platform bus type.
