Hi Daniel - I don't know if the 'rust branch' is common knowledge but
it helped me to know it was this:
https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux

For what it's worth, I was able to get the V4L2 Rust sample probed
pretty easily following the quick start instructions
https://docs.kernel.org/rust/quick-start.html

Cool to see this working!
