[PATCH v2 0/4] rust: i2c: Add basic I2C driver abstractions

[Igor Korotin]

This patch series lays the groundwork for writing Linux I2C drivers in Rust by:

 1. Core abstractions 
    Introduce `i2c::Device`, `i2c::Driver` and `i2c::Adapter` built on the
    existing `struct i2c_client` and `struct i2c_driver`, with safe Rust wrappers
    around probe, transfer, and teardown logic.

 2. Manual device creation  
    Provide an API to register an I2C device at runtime from Rust using
    `I2cBoardInfo`, including automatic cleanup when the driver unloads.

 3. Sample driver (legacy table, OF & ACPI)  
    Add `rust_driver_i2c`, a sample that binds to an I2C client via:
      - legacy I2C-ID table,
      - Open Firmware (device-tree) compatible strings, or
      - ACPI IDs.

 4. Sample for manual registration  
    Add `rust_device_i2c`, a sample demonstrating how to create an I²C device
    on a given `I2cAdapterRef`, and how to unregister it automatically.

Together, these four patches:

- Establish the essential Rust traits and types for I2C drivers.
- Enable driver binding via legacy ID table, device-tree (OF), or ACPI
- Enable manual device creation at runtime.
- Ship two samples showing typical usage: one for firmware- or table-based binding,
  and one for manual registration.

Changelog
---------
v2:
 - Merged separated ACPI support patches since ACPI-table support is 
   merged into driver-core-next.
 - Added I2cAdapterRef and I2cBoardInfo abstractions 
 - Added DeviceState generic parameter which is used for `i2c::Device`
   as a sign if the device is created manually
 - Added `DeviceOwned` abstraction which is a safe reference to a 
   manually created `i2c::Device<Ctx, state::Owned>`. 
 - Added Rust manual I2C device creation sample
