Subject: [PATCH] tca8418: fix loading this driver as a module from a device tree
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2014 11:29:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8CC80032-D358-4643-B3AD-95C280525EAC@goldelico.com> (raw)

Loading the tca8418 driver as a module on a device tree based system needs
a MODULE_ALIAS because the driver name does not match the automatic
name generation rules of a 'compatible' entry on i2c bus.
