[PATCH v3 07/27] rust: auxiliary: implement Sync for Device<Bound>
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Sat May 16 2026 - 20:03:01 EST
Implement Sync for Device<Bound> in addition to Device<Normal>.
Device<Bound> uses the same underlying struct auxiliary_device as
Device<Normal>; Bound is a zero-sized type-state marker that does not
affect thread safety.
This is needed for drivers to store &'bound auxiliary::Device<Bound> in
their private data while remaining Send.
