This is not yet ready to merge. It requires GATs in stable which is set to be released in Rust 1.65 on 3rd Nov. |

Previously, a limitation of Rust's type system required a device to implement `phy::Device<'a>` for all lifetimes, including `'static`, to be able to call methods on `iface::Interface`. This prevented types implementing `phy::Device<'a>` from containing any borrowed data. Now that Rust supports GATs (generic associated types), it is possible to lift this restriction and allow implementations of `phy::Device<'a>` which contain borrowed data.

I haven't checked the code diffs, but this sounds similar to #572 ? |

It's exactly the same. I even looked at the list of open PRs before starting this. Oh well. Closing in favour of the existing #572. |
