If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered device with the corresponding module. Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro. Before this patch: $ modinfo drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.ko | grep alias $ After this patch: $ modinfo drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.ko | grep alias alias: of:N*T*Cqca,ar9340-gpioC* alias: of:N*T*Cqca,ar9340-gpio alias: of:N*T*Cqca,ar7100-gpioC* alias: of:N*T*Cqca,ar7100-gpio Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.c b/drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.c index 9457e2022bf6..dc37dbe4b46d 100644 --- a/drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.c +++ b/drivers/gpio/gpio-ath79.c @@ -219,6 +219,7 @@ static const struct of_device_id ath79_gpio_of_match[] = { { .compatible = "qca,ar9340-gpio" }, {}, }; +MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ath79_gpio_of_match); static int ath79_gpio_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) { -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-gpio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
