[PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support
Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.
The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):
eisa:sTCM5093
and the in-module alias like:
eisa:sTCM5093*
The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.
There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.
The rationale for this patch is:
a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
support, to unify driver loading
b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
(who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)
