[PATCH 1/7] net: nps_enet: Fix module autoload

From: Javier Martinez Canillas
Date: Mon Oct 17 2016 - 10:06:54 EST


If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
device with the corresponding module.

Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.

Before this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/net/ethernet/ezchip/nps_enet.ko | grep alias
$

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/net/ethernet/ezchip/nps_enet.ko | grep alias
alias: of:N*T*Cezchip,nps-mgt-enetC*
alias: of:N*T*Cezchip,nps-mgt-enet
