    auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: Fix module autoload · 750100a4
    Javier Martinez Canillas authored
    If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
    alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
    device with the corresponding module.
    
    Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.
    
    Before this patch:
    
    $ modinfo drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.ko | grep alias
    $
    
    After this patch:
    
    $ modinfo drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.ko | grep alias
    alias:          of:N*T*Cmti,sead3-lcdC*
    alias:          of:N*T*Cmti,sead3-lcd
