Subject: [PATCH 3/5] [media] rc: meson-ir: Fix module autoload
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 12:44:10 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476719053-17600-4-git-send-email-javier@osg.samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1476719053-17600-1-git-send-email-javier@osg.samsung.com>
If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
device with the corresponding module.
Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.
Before this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/media/rc/meson-ir.ko | grep alias
$
After this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/media/rc/meson-ir.ko | grep alias
alias: of:N*T*Camlogic,meson-gxbb-irC*
alias: of:N*T*Camlogic,meson-gxbb-ir
alias: of:N*T*Camlogic,meson8b-irC*
alias: of:N*T*Camlogic,meson8b-ir
alias: of:N*T*Camlogic,meson6-irC*
alias: of:N*T*Camlogic,meson6-ir
