Pull driver core api addition from Greg KH:
 "Here is a driver core new api for 6.14-rc3 that is being added to
  allow platform devices from stop being abused.

  It adds a new 'faux_device' structure and bus and api to allow almost
  a straight or simpler conversion from platform devices that were not
  really a platform device. It also comes with a binding for rust, with
  an example driver in rust showing how it's used.

  I'm adding this now so that the patches that convert the different
  drivers and subsystems can all start flowing into linux-next now
  through their different development trees, in time for 6.15-rc1.

  We have a number that are already reviewed and tested, but adding
  those conversions now doesn't seem right. For now, no one is using
  this, and it passes all build tests from 0-day and linux-next, so all
  should be good"
