[PATCH v2 1/3] rust: device_id: split out index support into a separate trait

From: FUJITA Tomonori
Date: Tue Jul 01 2025 - 10:18:00 EST


Introduce a new trait `RawDeviceIdIndex`, which extends `RawDeviceId`
to provide support for device ID types that include an index or
context field (e.g., `driver_data`). This separates the concerns of
layout compatibility and index-based data embedding, and allows
`RawDeviceId` to be implemented for types that do not contain a
`driver_data` field. Several such structures are defined in
include/linux/mod_devicetable.h.

Refactor `IdArray::new()` into a generic `build()` function, which
takes an optional offset. Based on the presence of `RawDeviceIdIndex`,
index writing is conditionally enabled. A new `new_without_index()`
constructor is also provided for use cases where no index should be
written.

This refactoring is a preparation for enabling the PHY abstractions to
use device_id trait.
