source code:
MODULE_ALIAS("platform:sm501");
static const struct of_device_id of_sm501_match_tbl[] = {
{ .compatible = "smi,sm501", },
{ /* end */ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, of_sm501_match_tbl);
location: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/mfd/sm501.c#L1711
Since there is the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(), why the author additionally adds the
MODULE_ALIAS()?
What exactly is this MODULE_ALIAS() used for?
