Subject: of: device: Export of_device_{get_modalias, uvent_modalias} to modules
From: Stephen Boyd <stephen.boyd@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7a3b7cd332db08546f3cdd984f11773e0d1999e7 upstream.
The ULPI bus can be built as a module, and it will soon be
calling these functions when it supports probing devices from DT.
Export them so they can be used by the ULPI module.
