The I2C core always reports a MODALIAS of the form i2c:<foo> even if the device was registered via OF, this means that exporting the OF device ID table device aliases in the module is not needed. But in order to change how the core reports modaliases to user-space, it's better to export it. Before this patch: $ modinfo drivers/hwmon/ltc4151.ko | grep alias alias: i2c:ltc4151 After this patch: $ modinfo drivers/hwmon/ltc4151.ko | grep alias alias: i2c:ltc4151 alias: of:N*T*Clltc,ltc4151C* alias: of:N*T*Clltc,ltc4151 Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
