Everyone knows you could start the crude way today and refactor the duplication later after it proves itself, if you actually wanted to proceed rather than throw fits.

You can't just endlessly dump more busywork on Rust developers (including genuinely bad code practices) and expect them to deal with it.
There is zero good reason to duplicate that code and refactor it later.

Hey I think you’re missing important context and in the meantime getting a bit aggressive. Neither is helpful.
Regarding the context:
> A redundant wrapper is such a trivial mechanical problem to solve or work around,
The DMA maintainer explicitly NAKd a wrapper. He insisted that each Rust driver copy and paste the needed Rust code.
He even explicitly stated the reason was to ensure he did everything possible to keep C the only language in the kernel.
