Please do not bury this in the phy.rs file, put it in drivers/base/ next
to the firmware functions it is calling.

That's risky, how do you "know" this device really is a phydev?  That's
not how the firmware api works, use a real 'struct device' please.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the two step thing here, you need a
pointer for where the C code can put something, is this really how you
do that in rust?  Shouldn't it point to data somehow down below?

Again, phydev is not part of the firmware api.

But firmware is not a u8, it's a structure.  Can't the rust bindings
handle that?  Oh wait, data is a u8, but the bindings should show that,
right?

If new fails, does accessing this also fail?

And how are you using this?  I guess I'll dig in the next patch...

So drop will never be called if new fails?

Again, please don't put this in the phy driver, put it where it belongs
so we can add the other firmware functions when needed.

I fully agree with GregKH here. You should be writing a generic Rust
abstraction around firmware loading any Linux driver can use. There
should not be anything PHY specific in it.

As Greg already mentioned, this shouldn't be implemented specifically for struct
phy_device, but rather for a generic struct device.

I already got some generic firmware abstractions [1][2] sitting on top of a patch
series adding some basic generic device / driver abstractions [3].

I won't send out an isolated version of the device / driver series, but the full
patch series for the Nova stub driver [4] once I got everything in place. This was
requested by Greg to be able to see the full picture.

The series will then also include the firmware abstractions.

In order to use them from your PHY driver, I think all you need to do is to implement
AsRef<> for your phy::Device:

impl AsRef<device::Device> for Device {
     fn as_ref(&self) -> &device::Device {
         // SAFETY: By the type invariants, we know that `self.ptr` is non-null and valid.
         unsafe { device::Device::from_raw(&mut (*self.ptr).mdio.dev) }
     }
}

Sure. I had a version of creating rust/kernel/firmware.rs but I wanted
to know if a temporary solution could be accepted.

With the build system for Rust, we can't put it in drivers/base/ yet.

That's guaranteed. The above `Device` is phy::Device.

Right, I'll do in v2.

Oops, can be simpler:

let mut ptr: *const bindings::firmware = ptr::null_mut();
let ret = unsafe {
        bindings::request_firmware(&mut ptr, name.as_char_ptr().cast(), &mut (*phydev).mdio.dev)
};

In the C side:

struct firmware {
        size_t size;
        const u8 *data;
        /* firmware loader private fields */
        void *priv;
};

data() function allows a driver in Rust to access to the above data
member in Rust.

A driver could define its own structure over &[u8].

If a new() fails, a Firmware object isn't created. So data() function
cannot be called.

Yes, like data() function.

What is the status of fixing that?

How are we supposed to know that from reading this diff?  I think you
all need to work on naming things better, as that's going to get _VERY_
confusing very quickly.

Yeah, I have a version of creating rust/kernel/firmware.rs locally but
I wanted to know if a temporary solution could be accepted.

My implementation uses RawDevice trait in old rust branch (Wedson
implemented, I suppose):

https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/blob/18b7491480025420896e0c8b73c98475c3806c6f/rust/kernel/device.rs#L37

pub unsafe trait RawDevice {
    /// Returns the raw `struct device` related to `self`.
    fn raw_device(&self) -> *mut bindings::device;


Which is better?

I guess that usually a path to a module prevent confusion. For
example, a MAC driver could look like:

fn probe(dev: &mut pci::Device, _: pci::DeviceId) -> Result {
    let netdev = net::Device::new()?;
    let phydev = phy::Device::new()?;
    ...

    Ok(())
}
