Subject: [PATCH 33/33] rust: kbuild: allow `clippy::precedence` for Rust < 1.86.0

From: Miguel Ojeda <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 13:45:40 +0200

The Clippy `precedence` lint was extended in Rust 1.85.0 to include
bitmasking and shift operations [1]. However, because it generated
many hits, in Rust 1.86.0 it was split into a new `precedence_bits`
lint which is not enabled by default [2].

In other words, only Rust 1.85 has a different behavior. For instance,
it reports:

While so far we try our best to keep all versions Clippy-clean, the
minimum (which is now Rust 1.85.0 after the bump) and the latest stable
are the most important ones; and this may be considered "false positives"
with respect to the behavior in other versions.

Thus allow this lint for this version using the per-version flags
mechanism introduced in the previous commit.
