Rust-only means that there is no alternative C driver, and that the bulk of the logic (not the calls to kernel-wide abstractions) is implemented in Rust.
- Only the mainline release from kernel.org is considered.
- 6.8 introduced a driver for https://www.asix.com.tw/en/product/EmbeddedEthernet/1-Port_Ethernet/AX88796B , but it's not consumer-grade hardware and the Rust driver is a duplicate of the C driver.
- 6.12 introduced a driver for https://www.macom.com/products/product-detail/QT2025, not consumer-grade and duplicates the C driver.
- There's also a Rust-only QR code panic message "driver", but it isn't tied to actual hardware.
- 6.15 introduced the "Nova" driver for nvidia graphics, which fits the Rust-only and consumer-grade criteria, but isn't a full usable driver yet.
