platform: prefix MODALIAS with "platform:"
Prefix platform modalias strings with "platform:", which modprobe config to blacklist alias resolving if userspace configures it. Send uevents for all platform devices. Add MODULE_ALIAS's to: pxa2xx_pcmcia, ds1742 and pcspkr to trigger module autoloading by userspace. $ modinfo pcspkr alias: platform:pcspkr license: GPL description: PC Speaker beeper driver ... $ modprobe -n -v platform:pcspkr insmod /lib/modules/2.6.23-rc3-g28e8351a-dirty/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net> Cc: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
