[PATCH 4.4 11/25] tty: serial: msm: Fix module autoload

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Feb 24 2017 - 03:36:36 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit abe81f3b8ed2996e1712d26d38ff6b73f582c616 upstream.

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/tty/serial/msm_serial.ko | grep alias
$

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/tty/serial/msm_serial.ko | grep alias
alias: of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartdmC*
alias: of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartdm
alias: of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartC*
alias: of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uart
