[PATCH v5 03/19] rust: faux: add Device type with AsBusDevice support
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Sun Jun 28 2026 - 10:55:46 EST
Add a faux::Device type that wraps struct faux_device and implements
AsBusDevice, enabling faux devices to be used as parent devices for
subsystems that require a bus device, such as DRM.
Update Registration to return &faux::Device<Bound> via AsRef.
