Subject: ixp4xx-beeper: add MODULE_ALIAS
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=589499c04b9929ce3de9a9cc591f8a24cf1ebc91;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

ixp4xx-beeper: add MODULE_ALIAS

The following patch allows ixp4xx-beeper to be loaded by udev
automatically when compiled as a module with kernel versions 2.4.24 and
greater.

This patch is required because 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf
("platform: prefix MODALIAS with "platform:"") changed the modalias
string to have the extra prefix.

LKG7102D7:~# udevinfo -a -p /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4

 looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4':
   KERNEL=="ixp4xx-beeper.4"
   SUBSYSTEM=="platform"
   DRIVER==""
   ATTR{modalias}=="platform:ixp4xx-beeper"

udev therefore tries to modprobe platform:ixp4xx-beeper instead of
ixp4xx-beeper.

LKG7102D7:~# udevtest /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4
...
import_uevent_var: import into environment: 'PHYSDEVBUS=platform'
import_uevent_var: import into environment: 'MODALIAS=platform:ixp4xx-beeper'
main: looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4' from
subsystem 'platform'
wait_for_sysfs: file '/sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4/bus'
appeared after 0 loops
main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor'
main: run: '/sbin/modprobe --use-blacklist platform:ixp4xx-beeper'

With this patch, depmod adds an alias line (see below) to
modules.alias which allows modprobe to load the right module.

alias platform:ixp4xx-beeper ixp4xx-beeper
