Subject: [GIT PULL] Rust pin-init for v7.0

Hi Miguel,

Lot's of changes in this one, mainly the `syn` rewrite, but also some
smaller changes such as removing the `try_` versions of the macros in
pin-init (the kernel still declares its own).

All commits have been in linux-next since Monday.

The first commit in my tree is also in the `syn` patch series from Gary
[1], to avoid problems it should be merged after this tag. There also is
a "phantom conflict" with 74e15ac34b098 ("scripts:
generate_rust_analyzer: Add pin_init_internal deps") in rust-fixes,
which you already saw in linux-next [2]. Otherwise no conflicts
expected.

Please pull for v7.0 -- thanks!

Cheers,
Benno

  rust: pin-init: Implement `InPlaceWrite<T>` for `&'static mut MaybeUninit<T>` (2026-01-17 10:53:28 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
pin-init changes for v7.0

Added:

- '&'static mut MaybeUninit<T>' now implements 'InPlaceWrite'. This
  enables users to use external allocation mechanisms such as
  'static_cell'.

- Gary Guo as a Maintainer.

Changed:

- Rewrote all proc-macros ('[pin_]init!', '#[pin_data]',
  '#[pinned_drop]', 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)'),  using 'syn' with better
  diagnostics.

- 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)' now support tuple structs.

- '[pin_]init!' now supports attributes on fields (such as
  '#[cfg(...)]').

- Add a '#[default_error(<type>)]' attribute to '[pin_]init!' to
  override the default error (when no '? Error' is specified).

- Support packed struct in '[pin_]init!' with
  '#[disable_initialized_field_access]'.

Removed:

- 'try_[pin_]init!' have been removed in favor of merging their feature
  with '[pin_]init!'. The kernel's own 'try_[pin_]init!' macros have
  been updated to use the 'default_error' attribute.

Fixed:

- Corrected 'T: Sized' bounds to 'T: ?Sized' in the generated
  'PinnedDrop' check by '#[pin_data]'.
