Subject: Re: [PATCH] powerpc: Enable Rust for ppc64le
Hi Mukesh, hi Link,

Link Mauve has sent a patch for rust support on PPC32 a few hours before
you, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260204030507.8203-1-linkmauve@linkmauve.fr
Could you coordinate together to provide something supporting both PPC32
and PPC64 ?
I see the following conflicts at the time being. I also have a few
comments down.
