[PATCH 27/27] i2c: (RFC, don't apply) report OF style modalias when probing using DT

[Javier Martinez Canillas <javier-JPH+aEBZ4P+UEJcrhfAQsw@public.gmane.org>]

An I2C driver that supports both OF and legacy platforms, will have
both a OF and I2C ID table. This means that when built as a module,
the aliases will be filled from both tables but currently always an
alias of the form i2c:<deviceId> is reported, e.g:

$ cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-8/8-004b/modalias
i2c:maxtouch

So if a device is probed by matching its compatible string, udev can
get a MODALIAS uevent env var that doesn't match with one of the valid
aliases so the module won't be auto-loaded.

This patch changes the I2C core to report a OF related MODALIAS uevent
(of:N*T*C) env var instead so the module can be auto-loaded and also
report the correct alias using sysfs:

$ cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-8/8-004b/modalias
of:NtrackpadT<NULL>Catmel,maxtouch
