Patch Review

This is the main patch (571 lines). Several observations:

**(1) Typo in Parity doc comment:**

```rust
+    /// Even partiy.
+    Even =3D bindings::serdev_parity_SERDEV_PARITY_EVEN,
```

Should be `Even parity.`

**(2) `Timeout::into_jiffies` silent overflow to "wait forever":**

```rust
+    fn into_jiffies(self) -> isize {
+        match self {
+            Self::Jiffies(value) =3D> value.get().try_into().unwrap_or_def=
ault(),
+            Self::Milliseconds(value) =3D> {
+                msecs_to_jiffies(value.get()).try_into().unwrap_or_default=
()
+            }
+            Self::Max =3D> 0,
+        }
+    }
```

The `unwrap_or_default()` on overflow returns 0, which the C `serdev_device=
_write` converts to `MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT` (wait forever). A caller specify=
ing a large but finite timeout would silently get an infinite wait. This is=
 worth noting in the doc or choosing a different fallback (e.g., `isize::MA=
X`).

The `Self::Max =3D> 0` mapping relies on `serdev_device_write`'s internal `=
if (timeout =3D=3D 0) timeout =3D MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT;` behavior. This is =
correct but fragile =E2=80=94 it couples to an implementation detail of `se=
rdev_device_write` rather than passing `MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT` directly. If =
this function is ever used for other serdev calls that don't do the 0-to-MA=
X conversion, it would break silently.

**(3) Potential truncation in `write_all`:**

```rust
+    pub fn write_all(&self, data: &[u8], timeout: Timeout) -> Result<usize=
> {
+        let ret =3D unsafe {
+            bindings::serdev_device_write(
+                self.as_raw(),
+                data.as_ptr(),
+                data.len(),
+                timeout.into_jiffies(),
+            )
+        };
+        // CAST: negative return values are guaranteed to be between `-MAX=
_ERRNO` and `-1`,
+        // which always fit into a `i32`.
+        to_result(ret as i32).map(|()| ret.unsigned_abs())
+    }
```

`serdev_device_write` returns `ssize_t` (isize in Rust). The cast `ret as i=
32` is safe for negative error codes as the comment states, but on 64-bit s=
ystems, a successful return value larger than `i32::MAX` (>2GB) would be tr=
uncated to a negative i32, causing `to_result` to return a spurious error. =
While this is extremely unlikely for serial writes, the same pattern appear=
s in `write()` (where `write_buf` returns `int`, so there's no issue there)=
. A more defensive approach might be to check `ret < 0` directly instead of=
 casting through `to_result`.

**(4) Missing bracket in doc comment for `write`:**

```rust
+    /// Note that any accepted data has only been buffered by the controll=
er. Use
+    /// [ Device::wait_until_sent`] to make sure the controller write buff=
er has actually been
```

Should be `[`Device::wait_until_sent`]` (no space after `[`).

**(5) `write_all` naming may confuse Rust developers:**

In `std::io::Write`, `write_all` guarantees all bytes are written or return=
s an error. Here, `write_all` can return fewer bytes than `data.len()` (if =
interrupted). The doc is clear about this, but the name may mislead readers=
 used to the standard library convention. The C function being wrapped is `=
serdev_device_write` (vs `serdev_device_write_buf`), so alternative names l=
ike `write_timeout` might be less surprising.

**(6) Probe/receive synchronization =E2=80=94 correct:**

The `PrivateData` with `Completion` + `UnsafeCell<bool>` for synchronizing =
probe completion with receive_buf is correctly structured:

```rust
+            // SAFETY: We have exclusive access to `private_data.error`.
+            unsafe { *private_data.error.get() =3D result.is_err() };
+            private_data.probe_complete.complete_all();
```

The `complete_all()` provides the necessary memory barrier so that `wait_fo=
r_completion()` in `receive_buf_callback` sees the error flag. The ordering=
 in `probe_callback` is also correct: `rust_private_data` is set before `se=
t_client_ops` and `devm_serdev_device_open`, ensuring the pointer is valid =
when `receive_buf` can first be called.

**(7) OPS struct wires `write_wakeup` to C function directly:**

```rust
+    const OPS: &'static bindings::serdev_device_ops =3D &bindings::serdev_=
device_ops {
+        receive_buf: if <F::Of<'static> as Driver<'static>>::HAS_RECEIVE {
+            Some(Self::receive_buf_callback)
+        } else {
+            None
+        },
+        write_wakeup: Some(bindings::serdev_device_write_wakeup),
+    };
```

Using `bindings::serdev_device_write_wakeup` directly as the function point=
er is fine since it has the right signature. The `receive_buf` is condition=
ally set based on whether the driver implements `receive`, which is a nice =
use of vtable detection.

**(8) `Device` Send/Sync impls:**

```rust
+unsafe impl Send for Device {}
+unsafe impl Sync for Device {}
+unsafe impl Sync for Device<device::Bound> {}
```

The `Send` impl only covers `Device` (i.e., `Device<Normal>`). Missing `Sen=
d` for `Device<device::Bound>` and other contexts. However, `Device<Bound>`=
 is typically only used by reference within a driver callback, so it may no=
t need `Send`. This is likely intentional but could use a comment.
