The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates a vendored Rust library used for deriving cryptocurrency keys (bip32-ed25519) from version 0.2.0 to 0.2.1. The visible code changes are mostly housekeeping: updating Rust edition, formatting, and explicitly zeroing out sensitive key data when dropped. There is no direct evidence in the commit message or diff of a security vulnerability being fixed, but updating a cryptographic dependency can sometimes include undisclosed fixes.

Recommended action

Review the upstream rust-bip32-ed25519 v0.2.1 release notes and compare full source between v0.2.0 and v0.2.1 to confirm whether this is a routine maintenance update or contains undisclosed security fixes. If using this firmware, ensure the updated dependency is included in the next build.
