Thanks for the patch Oliver -- Viresh already sent it a bit earlier,
with a few more improvements:

https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/4823a58093c6dfa20df62b5c18da613621b9716e.1749554599.git.viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx/

So I assume he will probably want to go with that one.

But this patch was more of less what I was expecting. Some quick notes
for future patches in case it helps:

- Commit messages cannot be "empty" in the kernel (not counting
tags). It should explain the "what" and most importantly the "why".

- It should have been Reported-by in this case, like the issue
mentions, since it is a fix rather than a feature.

- The tags are usually sorted differently, e.g. please see other
commits in the kernel.

- I think this patch would make Clippy emit warnings (you can try
with `make ... CLIPPY=1`) because the functions are not `unsafe` (they
should be), e.g.

warning: safe function's docs have unnecessary `# Safety` section

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Miguel
