[PATCH] rust: miscdevice: fix write_iter safety docs
From: Yilin Chen
Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 12:21:28 EST
The write_iter callback consumes data from the supplied iov_iter and
wraps it as an IovIterSource.
Its Safety docs required a valid iov_iter for writing, but the
implementation and the IovIterSource contract require one that is valid
for reading. Update the docs to match that direction.
