Hi,

There was no intention to prevent auto loading. Did you get chance to
test these changes?

Sure, I always test patches before I send them out.

Ok, I haven't tested the changes with the iio HID drivers (I don't
have any commercial HID sensor hub, so I've just compile tested these
patches here, double reading them), but I've tested the similiar
changes with a patch for rtc-hid-sensor-time I've send out yesterday.
(sorry, no link, lkml.org seems dead, just search for
"rtc-hid-sensor-time: add module alias")

It works just fine. An example output is now

Jul 9 19:27:21 dockstar3 kernel: [ 5.124444] rtc_hid_sensor_time
HID-SENSOR-2000a0.0: milliseconds supported
Jul 9 19:27:21 dockstar3 kernel: [ 5.132864] rtc_hid_sensor_time
HID-SENSOR-2000a0.0: rtc core: setting system clock to 2013-07-09
17:26:51:328000 UTC (1373390811)
Jul 9 19:27:21 dockstar3 kernel: [ 5.146105] rtc_hid_sensor_time
HID-SENSOR-2000a0.0: rtc core: registered hid-sensor-time as rtc0

Before the output was e.g.

HID-SENSOR-2000a0 HID-SENSOR-2000a0.0: rtc core: registered
hid-sensor-time as rtc0

instead of the above with the descriptive rtc_hid_sensor_time.
<Agreed. This is better. >
Automatic loading of modules works too and it works on ARM, Intel and
AMD as module or static linked. ;)

Do you have tested the patches with a real device? I assume you have one. ;)
