[PATCH] rtc: mt6397: Add platform device ID table

[PATCH] rtc: mt6397: Add platform device ID table

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The platform bus_type .match callback attempts to match the platform device
name with an entry on the .id_table if provided and fallbacks to match with
the driver's name if a table is not provided.

Using a platform device ID to match is more explicit, allows the driver to
support more than one device and also the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE macro can be
used to export the module aliases information instead of the MODULE_ALIAS.

This patch looks good to me, but I am wondering, since we tend to use
device tree method to match driver, do we still need support platform
device ID ?

I'm not familiar with neither this IP block nor the SoC so it is up to
you. I just noticed this issue when reviewing a regulator driver for a
similar PMIC posted by someone from mediatek.

I thought platform device was needed since the driver has a MODULE_ALIAS()
but please let me know what you prefer and I can re-spin the patch and
just remove the MODULE_ALIAS() if that makes more sense for this platform.

I agree. We can alway add a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() if we get multiple
users of this driver on architectures that don't use devicetree yet.

I think we misunderstood one another. I think we can drop both the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE and the MODULE_ALIAS: there is no need for another
driver ID when it is always probed using DT.

That's how I understood but then Eddie said the opposite so I got confused
