    ARM: amba: Auto-generate AMBA driver module aliases during modpost · 523817bd
    Dave Martin 提交于
    This patch adds the necessary support in file2alias.c to define
    suitable aliases based on the amba_id table in AMBA driver modules.
    
    This should be sufficient to allow such modules to be auto-loaded
    via udev.  The AMBA bus driver's uevent hotplug code is also
    modified to pass an approriate MODALIAS string in the event.
    
    For simplicity, the AMBA ID is treated an an opaque 32-bit numeber.
    Module alises use patterns as appropriate to describe the value-
    mask pairs described in the driver's amba_id list.
    
    The proposed alias format is (extended regex):
    
        ^amba:d(HEX){8}$
    
    Where HEX is a single upper-case HEX digit or a pattern (? or []
    expression) matching a single upper-case HEX digit, as expected by
    udev.
    
    "d" is short for "device", following existing alias naming
    conventions for other device types.  This adds some flexibility for
    unambiguously extending the alias format in the future by adding
    additional leading and trailing fields, if this turns out to be
    necessary.
