GNU Linux-libre 6.15-rc7-gnu: rust help needed

Hi,

I've cleaned up 6.15-rc7, and found we have the first blob-loading
driver written in rust.

I suspect I've botched its cleaning up, but I can't tell for sure: I
don't speak Rust, the Rust toolchain in Trisquel is not recent enough,
and I don't quite trust (freedom wise) the one recommended in Linux
documentation.

I'd appreciate if someone familiar with Rust would have a look at the
.rs files modified in 6.15-rc7-gnu, or compile them, and let me know how
it goes.  I suspect some of them will just fail to compile.  If so, I
could use some help figuring out how to adjust them so that they
compile.

Otherwise, 6.15-rc7-gnu has been build-tested with allmodconfig on
x86_64, but it could always use some more testing.

Thanks in advance,
