The buses should honor the firmware interface used to register the device,
but the I2C core reports a MODALIAS of the form i2c:<device> even for I2C
devices registered via OF.
This means that user-space will never get an OF stype uevent MODALIAS even
when the drivers modules contain aliases exported from both the I2C and OF
device ID tables. For example, an Atmel maXTouch Touchscreen registered by
a DT node with compatible "atmel,maxtouch" has the following module alias:
$ cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-8/8-004b/modalias
i2c:maxtouch
So udev won't be able to auto-load a module for an OF-only device driver.
Many OF-only drivers duplicate the OF device ID table entries in an I2C ID
table only has a workaround for how the I2C core reports the module alias.
This patch changes the I2C core to report an OF related MODALIAS uevent if
the device was registered via OF. So for the previous example, after this
patch, the reported MODALIAS for the Atmel maXTouch will be the following:
$ cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-8/8-004b/modalias
of:NtrackpadT<NULL>Catmel,maxtouch
NOTE: This patch may break out-of-tree drivers that were relying on this
behavior, and only had an I2C device ID table even when the device
was registered via OF. There are no remaining drivers in mainline
that do this, but out-of-tree drivers have to be fixed and define
a proper OF device ID table to have module auto-loading working.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
