rust: allow clippy::needless_lifetimes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 60fc1e6 upstream.

In beta Clippy (i.e. Rust 1.83.0), the `needless_lifetimes` lint has
been extended [1] to suggest eliding `impl` lifetimes, e.g.

    error: the following explicit lifetimes could be elided: 'a
    --> rust/kernel/list.rs:647:6

    647 | impl<'a, T: ?Sized + ListItem<ID>, const ID: u64> FusedIterator for Iter<'a, T, ID> {}
        |      ^^                                                                  ^^

        = note: `-D clippy::needless-lifetimes` implied by `-D warnings`
        = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(clippy::needless_lifetimes)]`
    help: elide the lifetimes

    647 - impl<'a, T: ?Sized + ListItem<ID>, const ID: u64> FusedIterator for Iter<'a, T, ID> {}
    647 + impl<T: ?Sized + ListItem<ID>, const ID: u64> FusedIterator for Iter<'_, T, ID> {}

A possibility would have been to clean them -- the RFC patch [2] did
this, while asking if we wanted these cleanups. There is an open issue
[3] in Clippy about being able to differentiate some of the new cases,
e.g. those that do not involve introducing `'_`. Thus it seems others
feel similarly.

Thus, for the time being, we decided to `allow` the lint.
