Subject: [PATCH] backlight: da9052: Fix module autoload
Date: Mon, 02 Jan 2017 16:03:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1483373008-9905-1-git-send-email-javier@osg.samsung.com> (raw)
The driver has a platform device ID table with multiple device entries,
each setting a different register address in its driver_data to control
the WLED brightness.
But the driver doesn't export these as aliases with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
when the driver is built as a module, instead it just has a single alias
using MODULE_ALIAS("platform:da9052-backlight"). That is clearly wrong
since there isn't a "da9052-backlight" in the platform device ID table,
so if that device name is used, the device won't even match the driver.
So instead of having a wrong alias, export the ones in the dev ID table.
Before this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/video/backlight/da9052_bl.ko | grep alias
alias: platform:da9052-backlight
After this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/video/backlight/da9052_bl.ko | grep alias
alias: platform:da9052-wled3
alias: platform:da9052-wled2
alias: platform:da9052-wled1
