[PATCH 2/3] ALSA: hda - Advertise MODALIAS in uevent

[Thierry Reding]

From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx>

By setting the MODALIAS variable in uevents, userspace helpers will be
enabled to load modules via the module alias associated with a device.

This information is required to automatically load HDA codec drivers
instead of having to explicitly request the various modules in the HDA
core code.
