+ * of_modalias_table: Table of explicit compatible ==> modalias mappings
+ *
+ * This table allows particulare compatible property values to be mapped
+ * to modalias strings. This is useful for busses which do not directly
+ * understand the OF device tree but are populated based on data contained
+ * within the device tree. SPI and I2C are the two current users of this
+ * table.
+ *
+ * In most cases, devices do not need to be listed in this table because
+ * the modalias value can be derived directly from the compatible table.
+ * However, if for any reason a value cannot be derived, then this table
+ * provides a method to override the implicit derivation.
+ *
+ * At the moment, a single table is used for all bus types because it is
+ * assumed that the data size is small and that the compatible values
+ * should already be distinct enough to differentiate between SPI, I2C
+ * and other devices.

+ *
+ * Based on the value of the compatible property, this routine will determine
+ * an appropriate modalias value for a particular device tree node. Three
+ * separate methods are used to derive a modalias value.
+ *
+ * First method is to lookup the compatible value in of_modalias_table.
+ * Second is to look for a "linux,<modalias>" entry in the compatible list
+ * and used that for modalias. Third is to strip off the manufacturer
+ * prefix from the first compatible entry and use the remainder as modalias
