[PATCH] rust: auxiliary: fix false positive warning for missing a safety comment

From: Danilo Krummrich

Date: Mon Nov 03 2025 - 15:39:56 EST


Some older (yet supported) versions of clippy throw a false positive
warning for missing a safety comment when the safety comment is on a
multiline statement.

warning: unsafe block missing a safety comment
--> rust/kernel/auxiliary.rs:351:22
|
351 | Self(unsafe { NonNull::new_unchecked(adev) }),
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= help: consider adding a safety comment on the preceding line
= help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#undocumented_unsafe_blocks
= note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::undocumented-unsafe-blocks`

warning: 1 warning emitted

Fix this by placing the safety comment right on top of the same line
introducing the unsafe block.

Fixes: e4e679c8608e ("rust: auxiliary: unregister on parent device unbind")
