net: fix auto-loading of Marvell DSA driver
Auto-loading of the Marvell DSA driver has stopped working with recent kernels. This seems to be due to the change of binding for DSA devices, moving them from the platform bus to the MDIO bus. In order for module auto-loading to work, we need to provide a MODALIAS string in the uevent file for the device. However, the device core does not automatically provide this, and needs each bus_type to implement a uevent method to generate these strings. The MDIO bus does not provide such a method, so no MODALIAS string is provided: .# cat /sys/bus/mdio_bus/devices/f1072004.mdio-mii\:04/uevent DRIVER=mv88e6085 OF_NAME=switch OF_FULLNAME=/soc/internal-regs/mdio@72004/switch@4 OF_COMPATIBLE_0=marvell,mv88e6085 OF_COMPATIBLE_N=1 In the case of OF-based devices, the solution is easy - of_device_uevent_modalias() does the work for us. After this is done, the uevent file looks like this: .# cat /sys/bus/mdio_bus/devices/f1072004.mdio-mii\:04/uevent DRIVER=mv88e6085 OF_NAME=switch OF_FULLNAME=/soc/internal-regs/mdio@72004/switch@4 OF_COMPATIBLE_0=marvell,mv88e6085 OF_COMPATIBLE_N=1 MODALIAS=of:NswitchT<NULL>Cmarvell,mv88e6085 which results in auto-loading of the Marvell DSA driver on Clearfog platforms.
