Hi, Can some one please help me understand what does the use of MODULE_ALIAS() achieve? In the simple char driver "drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c", I see the following in addition to the regular stuff. /* work with hotplug and coldplug */ MODULE_ALIAS("platform:omap_rng"); Can some one tell me what is the above indicating?
