You can just do this (I omitted the `::kernel::` prefix for readability, if you add this in the macro, please include it): // CAST: `DriverVTable` is `repr(transparent)` and wrapping `bindings::phy_driver`. let ptr = drv.as_mut_ptr().cast::<bindings::phy_driver>(); let len = drv.len().try_into()?; // SAFETY: ... to_result(unsafe { bindings::phy_drivers_register(ptr, len, module.0) })?;quoted
})?;The above solves DriverVTable.0 but still the macro can't access to kernel::ThisModule.0. I got the following error:I think we could just provide an `as_ptr` getter function for `ThisModule`. But need to check with the others.ThisModule.0 is *mut bindings::module. Drivers should not use bindings?
This is a special case, since it `module` is used on a lot of functions (and it does not make sense to provide abstractions for those on `ThisModule`). Additionally, `ThisModule` already has a public `from_raw` function that takes a `*mut bindings::module`. If you add a `as_ptr` function, please create a separate patch for it. -- Cheers, Benno
