🥳 "'We are almost at the "write a real driver in " stage now, depending on what you want to do."' 🥳

That's what @gregkh wrote in the comment for the main driver core and debugfs updates merged for 6.14, as it contained "driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions"; there is also a "misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use them":

@kernellogger @gregkh stuff like this is why I think rust will have a rippling effect of improving the C side too

"driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall."

@4censord @gregkh note the "we" in a Linux kernel mainline merge commit, that statement thus refers to the state of the upstream Linux kernel.

Downstreams does all sorts of things all the time, which is good, but a different matter.
