rust: firmware: Use
The `FwFunc` struct contains an function with a char pointer argument,
for which a `*const u8` pointer was used. This is not really the
"proper" type for this, so use a `*const kernel::ffi::c_char` pointer
instead.
This has no real functionality changes, since now `kernel::ffi::c_char`
(which bindgen uses for `char`) is now a type alias to `u8` anyways,
but before commit 1bae872 ("rust: map `long` to `isize` and `char`
to `u8`") the concrete type of `kernel::ffi::c_char` depended on the
architecture (However all supported architectures at the time mapped to
`i8`).
This caused problems on the v6.13 tag when building for 32 bit arm (with
my patches), since back then `*const i8` was used in the function
argument and the function that bindgen generated used
`*const core::ffi::c_char` which Rust mapped to `*const u8` on 32 bit
arm. The stable v6.13.y branch does not have this issue since commit
1bae872 ("rust: map `long` to `isize` and `char` to `u8`") was
backported.
This caused the following build error:
```
