Subject: [PATCH v3 2/9] rust: pwm: Add core 'Device' and 'Chip' object
wrappers
Building on the basic data types, this commit introduces the central
object abstractions for the PWM subsystem: Device and Chip. It also
includes the core trait implementations that make the Chip wrapper a
complete, safe, and managed object.
The main components of this change are:
- Device and Chip Structs: These structs wrap the underlying struct
pwm_device and struct pwm_chip C objects, providing safe, idiomatic
methods to access their fields.
- Core Trait Implementations for Chip:
- AlwaysRefCounted: Links the Chip's lifetime to its embedded
struct device reference counter. This enables automatic lifetime
management via ARef.
- Send and Sync: Marks the Chip wrapper as safe for use across
threads. This is sound because the C core handles all necessary
locking for the underlying object's state.
These wrappers and traits form a robust foundation for building PWM
drivers in Rust.
