That's a good idea.

It actually works like this now:
# cd /sys/bus/platform/devices/PRP0001\:00/
DRIVER=leds-gpio
MODALIAS=of:Nprp0001TacpiCgpio-leds
# cat modalias
of:Nprp0001TacpiCgpio-leds
In other words the modalias changes to be of:Nprp0001Tacpi, e.g
name=prp0001, type=acpi and then list of compatible values.
Udev then loads only module that matches the modalias so it should not
load everything listing PRP0001 in their MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().
