Hi,

I took a quick look and left some comments from the Rust side of view.

Why are you using `Pin<Vec<_>>`? The vector may reallocate the backing
storage at any point in time.

Why does the config hold onto this token? Would it make sense to consume
the config and return a `Handle` or `Token` abstraction? Then you don't
need to check if the config has been "used" before.

I think you should use the `ARef` pattern instead:

     #[repr(transparent)]
     pub struct OPP(Opaque<bindings::dev_pm_opp>);

     unsafe impl AlwaysRefCounted for OPP {
         // ...
     }

Then you can use `ARef<OPP>` everywhere you use `OPP` currently.
