[PATCH] crypto: picoxcell - Fix module autoload for non-OF registration

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

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 if the device isn't registered via OF.

Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.

Before this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/crypto/picoxcell_crypto.ko | grep alias
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-l2C*
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-l2
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-ipsecC*
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-ipsec

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/crypto/picoxcell_crypto.ko | grep alias
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-l2C*
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-l2
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-ipsecC*
alias:          of:N*T*Cpicochip,spacc-ipsec
alias:          platform:picochip,spacc-l2
alias:          platform:picochip,spacc-ipsec

I think we can just remove the table, as the platform only supports
booting through DT anyway.

Agreed. I should had checked if mach-picoxcell was DT-only indeed.

Should I also make the driver to depend on OF and remove the #ifdefery then?

I don't think we need a dependency, the #ifdef checks in there were needed
only to make the driver smaller if OF is disabled and it should still build
fine if someone tries to compile it for CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST without
CONFIG_OF.

If we remove the platform ID, we can however also remove the 
spacc_is_compatible() function and just call of_device_is_compatible()
in its place.

OK, the driver doesn't depend on COMPILE_TEST though but I agree with you
since it seems the driver only has runtime but no build time dependencies
with ARCH_PICOXCELL.

Yes.
