Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the feedback.

I was aware of the per-subsystem rule, but reasoned that since these changes are
purely about Rust import formatting coding style with no functional impact on any
subsystem, they might go through the rust-for-linux tree with acks from the
respective subsystem maintainers. The Rust coding style is independent of any
subsystem-specific guidelines.

Is that reasoning off-base, or is the right path to split these out per subsystem
regardless?

Miguel, could you please indicate if you have a preference here?

Thank you.
