[PATCH 3/5] ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add compatibility MODULE_ALIAS entry

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a ibm_acpi module alias for userpace, so that modprobe ibm_acpi will
still load the correct driver.  This alias can be removed in the future,
probably two years from now if nothing warrants removing it sooner.
