[PATCH v2 1/9] rust: device: implement impl_device_context_deref!

From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Sun Apr 13 2025 - 13:38:29 EST


The Deref hierarchy for device context generics is the same for every
(bus specific) device.

Implement those with a generic macro to avoid duplicated boiler plate
code and ensure the correct Deref hierarchy for every device
implementation.
