Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] firmware_loader: make RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS
 select FW_LOADER

The use of firmware_loader is an implementation detail of drivers rather
than a dependency. FW_LOADER is typically selected rather than depended
on; the Rust abstractions should do the same thing.

Fixes: de6582833db0 ("rust: add firmware abstractions")
