Hi Inki,
I wonder if this change wouldn't break the purpose of having

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE at all.
As far as I remember, this is used to create a symbol with well known name
that userspace tools can use to identify what devices are handled in this
module. For example
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, fimd_driver_dt_match);
results in creation of __mod_of_device_table symbol, of which tools, such
as depmod are aware and can build a list of supported devices.
Your change will result in creation of __mod_of_fimd_device_table, which
is unknown and won't be of any use.
By the way, looking at the definition of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, which is
139 #define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type,name) \
140 MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(type##_device,name)
and then MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE
85 #ifdef MODULE
86 #define MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(gtype,name) \
87 extern const struct gtype##_id __mod_##gtype##_table \
88 __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))))
89
90 #else /* !MODULE */
91 #define MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(gtype,name)
92 #endif
it seems like the exact line that will be generated after your change,
will be
extern const struct of_fimd_device_id __mod_of_fimd_device_table
__attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))));
Exactly right. it's my mistake. But now it seems that __mode_of_device_table is multi defined at fimd and g2d side so there still is module build error. :(
Thanks,

Inki Dae
which seems wrong, because of_fimd_device_id is not a correct struct type.

Tomasz
