The driver auto-loads based on the DMI modaliases and this platform modalias is not necessary and broken: 1. Not necessary since the driver itself creates the platform_device, so it is already loaded when the modalias might be used 2. From a quick scan of the code it does not create any platform-devices called "platform:pcengines-apuv2" Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/platform/x86/pcengines-apuv2.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/pcengines-apuv2.c b/drivers/platform/x86/pcengines-apuv2.c index d063d91db9bc..3aa63b18a2e1 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/x86/pcengines-apuv2.c +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/pcengines-apuv2.c @@ -291,5 +291,4 @@ MODULE_AUTHOR("Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult <info@xxxxxxxxx>"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("PC Engines APUv2/APUv3 board GPIO/LEDs/keys driver"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, apu_gpio_dmi_table); -MODULE_ALIAS("platform:pcengines-apuv2"); MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: platform:" AMD_FCH_GPIO_DRIVER_NAME " platform:leds-gpio platform:gpio_keys_polled"); -- 2.39.1
