[net-next,v5,0/5] Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers

Message

This patchset adds Rust abstractions for phylib. It doesn't fully
cover the C APIs yet but I think that it's already useful. I implement
two PHY drivers (Asix AX88772A PHYs and Realtek Generic FE-GE). Seems
they work well with real hardware.

The first patch introduces Rust bindings for phylib.

The second patch add a macro to declare a kernel module for PHYs
drivers.

The third patch add Miguel's work to make sure that the C's enum is
sync with Rust sides. If not, compiling fails. Note that this is a
temporary solution. It will be replaced with bindgen when it supports
generating the enum conversion code.

The fourth add the Rust ETHERNET PHY LIBRARY entry to MAINTAINERS
file; adds the binding file and me as a maintainer (as Andrew Lunn
suggested) with Trevor Gross as a reviewer.

The last patch introduces the Rust version of Asix PHY drivers,
drivers/net/phy/ax88796b.c. The features are equivalent to the C
version. You can choose C (by default) or Rust version on kernel
configuration.

v5:
  - drops the rustified-enum option, writes match by hand; no *risk* of UB
  - adds Miguel's patch for enum checking
  - moves CONFIG_RUST_PHYLIB_ABSTRACTIONS to drivers/net/phy/Kconfig
  - adds a new entry for this abstractions in MAINTAINERS
  - changes some of Device's methods to take &mut self
  - comment improvment
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/
  - split the core patch
  - making Device::from_raw() private
  - comment improvement with code update
  - commit message improvement
  - avoiding using bindings::phy_driver in public functions
  - using an anonymous constant in module_phy_driver macro
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/T/
  - changes the base tree to net-next from rust-next
  - makes this feature optional; only enabled with CONFIG_RUST_PHYLIB_BINDINGS=y
  - cosmetic code and comment improvement
  - adds copyright
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/T/
  - build failure fix
  - function renaming
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/T/
