[PATCH 2/5] rust: drm: add connector abstraction
From: Albert Esteve
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 07:41:46 EST
Add DRM Connector abstraction wrapping `struct drm_connector`.
Used by the DRM panel abstractions added in the following patch.
Since it is merely used as a raw pointer and managed internally in
the panel's C functions, the Connector does not need to expose
anything else for now.
