I faced them with libgpiod only :(

it isn't about reliability of the generated code, but making everyone do it,
even if they don't need to.

Also, the code generated here is Rust code wrappers and other declarations,
which let us call the C helpers eventually. It can be considered like hand
written code here, for the argument that it is automatically generated stuff.
Just that we have a tool (bindgen) here which lets us generate it automatically,
without introducing bugs.

Anyway, I am fine with whatever you decide.
