[PATCH] usb: rust: Use pin_init::zeroed for usb_device_id initialization

From: Nicolás Antinori

Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 18:50:14 EST


All types in `bindings` implement `Zeroable` if they can. This enables
using `pin_init::zeroed()` for `usb_device_id` initialization instead
of relying on `..unsafe { MaybeUninit::zeroed().assume_init() }`.

This change improves readability and removes unnecessary unsafe blocks.
