From 589499c04b9929ce3de9a9cc591f8a24cf1ebc91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alessandro Zummo Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:15:59 -0700 Subject: ixp4xx-beeper: add MODULE_ALIAS The following patch allows ixp4xx-beeper to be loaded by udev automatically when compiled as a module with kernel versions 2.4.24 and greater. This patch is required because 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf ("platform: prefix MODALIAS with "platform:"") changed the modalias string to have the extra prefix. LKG7102D7:~# udevinfo -a -p /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4 looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4': KERNEL=="ixp4xx-beeper.4" SUBSYSTEM=="platform" DRIVER=="" ATTR{modalias}=="platform:ixp4xx-beeper" udev therefore tries to modprobe platform:ixp4xx-beeper instead of ixp4xx-beeper.
