====================
Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers

No functional change since v10; only comment and commit log updates.

This patchset adds Rust abstractions for phylib. It doesn't fully
cover the C APIs yet but I think that it's already useful. I implement
two PHY drivers (Asix AX88772A PHYs and Realtek Generic FE-GE). Seems
they work well with real hardware.

The first patch introduces Rust bindings for phylib.

The second patch adds a macro to declare a kernel module for PHYs
drivers.

The third adds the Rust ETHERNET PHY LIBRARY entry to MAINTAINERS
file; adds the binding file and me as a maintainer (as Andrew Lunn
suggested) with Trevor Gross as a reviewer.

The last patch introduces the Rust version of Asix PHY driver,
drivers/net/phy/ax88796b.c. The features are equivalent to the C
version. You can choose C (by default) or Rust version on kernel
configuration.
