Subject: [PATCH] add MODULE_ALIAS to load ipmi_devintf with ipmi_si
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:18:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1KsI6R-0006gT-PJ@bioshock.netsplit.com> (raw)
The ipmi_devintf module contains the userspace interface for IPMI
devices, yet will not be loaded automatically with a system
interface handler driver.
Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by
the ipmi_si driver, so that userspace knows of the recommendation.
