    perf/smmuv3: Add MODULE_ALIAS for module auto loading · 1b0e3ea9
    Yicong Yang authored
    On my ACPI based arm64 server, if the SMMUv3 PMU is configured as
    module it won't be loaded automatically after booting even if the
    device has already been scanned and added. It's because the module
    lacks a platform alias, the uevent mechanism and userspace tools
    like udevd make use of this to find the target driver module of the
    device. This patch adds the missing platform alias of the module,
    then module will be loaded automatically if device exists.
    
    Before this patch:
    [root@localhost tmp]# modinfo arm_smmuv3_pmu | grep alias
    alias:          of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcgC*
    alias:          of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcg
    
    After this patch:
    [root@localhost tmp]# modinfo arm_smmuv3_pmu | grep alias
    alias:          platform:arm-smmu-v3-pmcg
    alias:          of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcgC*
    alias:          of:N*T*Carm,smmu-v3-pmcg
