The basic infrastructure for writing drivers in Rust is upstream but there's nothing upstream using it yet. Others have mentioned stuff that may eventually make its way upstream, but from what I've seen there's pretty heavy resistance from maintainers whenever (re)writing something in Rust gets brought up.
Before Rust starts getting used "for real" in the kernel there's a lot of barriers to overcome. Most maintainers aren't hugely proficient in Rust and absolutely do not have the time to learn. Needing yet another toolchain is annoying (especially when you need bits that aren't in stable yet), anything you write in Rust probably won't get built in distro kernels for a long time, and anything you work on today is hugely uncharted territory since it's all so new.
I think one thing a lot of people don't understand from "outside" the kernel development sphere is that standards for getting stuff upstream are typically pretty high for most subsystems, a lot higher than most open source projects. There are a lot of open questions about Rust in Linux that don't have clear answers, and Linux really struggles with consensus. Yes it has a dictator, but that dictator very rarely dictates anything that hugely moves the needle.
I do think "real" kernel bits written in Rust will get upstream and will get used, but it will be a very slow burn.
