The driver has a match table for the pci bus wired into its driver
structure, but the table is not exported with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().
Add the missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() entry so module alias information
is generated for automatic module loading.
This is a source-level fix. It does not claim dynamic hardware
reproduction; the evidence is the driver-owned match table, its use by
the driver registration structure, and the missing module alias
publication.

I'm not sure if it was intentionally not added, maybe because it's an
add-on card for which people should manually load the driver.
Anyway, I'm adding this patch now to the fbdev git tree and will find out if
someone reports a regression...
Thanks!
