    This creates a lot of extra work for no benefit, as every driver that needs DMA would have to include their own copy of the DMA stuff.

      They still can share code. Just not maintained by dma.

        Nobody asked for the code to be maintained by DMA. The maintainer blocked a PR outside his subsystem, and even if it was part of his subsystem, the R4L approach is that C developers can break Rust code however they want.

        Literally nobody suggested that the DMA maintainers should maintain Rust code.
