Two questions, first we have:

#define MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(type, name)                                 \
extern typeof(name) __mod_##type##__##name##_device_table               \
    __attribute__ ((unused, alias(__stringify(name))))

Therefore we're defining __mod_mdev__id_table_device_table with alias
id_table.  When the virtio mdev bus driver is added in 5/6 it uses the
same name value.  I see virtio types all register this way (virtio,
id_table), so I assume there's no conflict, but pci types mostly (not
entirely) seem to use unique names.  Is there a preference to one way
or the other or it simply doesn't matter?

It looks to me that those symbol were local, so it doesn't matter. But
if you wish I can switch to use unique name.
I don't have a strong opinion, I'm just trying to make sure we're not
doing something obviously broken.


Yes, to be more safe I will switch to unique names here.

A lot of entries call add_wildcard() here, should we?  Sorry for the
basic questions, I haven't played in this code.  Thanks,

It's really good question. My understanding is we won't have a module
that can deal with all kinds of classes like CLASS_ID_ANY. So there's
probably no need for the wildcard.
The comment for add_wildcard() indicates future extension, so it's hard
to know what we might need in the future until we do need it.  The
majority of modules.alias entries on my laptop (even if I exclude pci
aliases) end with a wildcard.  Thanks,


Yes, so I will add that for future extension.

Thanks



Alex
