[PATCH 0/5] Remove MODULE_ALIAS from all mcb client drivers
Posted by Javier Rodriguez 1 month, 1 week ago
The first patches I sent for fixing the autoload problem encountered
on mcb device drivers were 2. The first was focused on updating the
modpost process for letting kbuild to access to the data within
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE and the second one for removing the MODULE_ALIAS
on all mcb client drivers.

They were rejected and Andy suggested me to split the second patch
in a per-driver basis instead of sending all drivers' changes in a
single patch once the first patch was merged.

You can find the messages here:

The first patch is already merged on Linus's Git repository for 6.19-rc4

commit 1f4ea4838b13 ("mcb: Add missing modpost build support")

So now I am sending this patch series for removing MODULE_ALIAS
on all mcb client drivers as it is no longer required.

  gpio: gpio-menz127: drop unneeded MODULE_ALIAS
  serial: men_z135_uart: drop unneeded MODULE_ALIAS
