First off - thank you a ton for going through and reviewing so much of this,
it's super appreciated ♥. I'm going to try to go through them today and at the
start of early next week. Also thanks especially since this is basically the
first very big set of kernel bindings in rust I've ever written, so I'm sure
there's plenty of mistakes :P.

Oh! I didn't even know that was a thing :), but I guess it certainly would be.
Honestly I just hadn't written up another solution because I was waiting to
get more feedback on the DRM bits first.

Interesting. I did understand this wouldn't be tying the reference to any
lifetime more specific then "is alive for the duration of the function this
was called in" - which in pretty much all the cases we would be using this
function in would be good enough to ensure safety.
I guess though I'm curious what precisely is the point of having another type
instead of a reference would be? It seems like if we were to add a function in
the future for something that needed a reference to a `FormatInfo`, that
having to cast from `FormatInfo` to `FormatInfoRef` would be a bit confusing
when you now have both `&FormatInfo` and `FormatInfoRef`.

FWIW: I think the reason I didn't use Opaque is because it didn't really seem
necessary. AFAICT the lifetime of drm_format_info follows rust's data aliasing
rules: it's only ever mutated before pointers to it are stored elsewhere, thus
holding a plain reference to it should be perfectly safe.
