Hello, I'm confused by the modalias'es created by OF devices, e.g.:
# cat /sys/devices/f0000000.soc5200/f0000f00.spi/modalias of:NspiT<NULL>Cfsl,mpc5200b-spiCfsl,mpc5200-spi First of all, the string "<NULL>" looks like an error. I could then dynamically load a driver module for the SPI using: # modprobe `cat sys/devices/f0000000.soc5200/f0000f00.spi/modalias` This does make sense for the SPI device, but there are OF devices which cannot really be used by a module driver, e.g.: # cat /sys/devices/f0000000.soc5200/f0000500.interrupt-controller/modalias of:Ninterrupt-controllerT<NULL>Cfsl,mpc5200b-picCfsl,mpc5200-pic The same for localbus, cdm, etc. Does it make sense for these to create a modalias file? Likely I have missed something. Thanks for clarification.
