Because with OF we can pass more specific
compatible flags (such as edt-ft5306) instead
of generic edt-ft5x06, when i2c-core's
of_i2c_register_devices() tries to request_module(),
it'll request it with a non-existent specific module
alias.

In order to have this driver autoprobing again, we
just need to add missing MODULE_ALIAS() entries to
edt-ft5x06 driver.

Thanks to Dmitry for noticing that it actually should
autoprobe even with of_device_id.

btw, with this, patches 7 through 10 can be ignored.

Here is what I see if I run modinfo on the module:

dtor@dtor-ws:~/kernel/work$ modinfo
drivers/input/touchscreen/edt-ft5x06.ko
filename:
/home/dtor/kernel/work/drivers/input/touchscreen/edt-ft5x06.ko

description:    EDT FT5x06 I2C Touchscreen Driver
author:         Simon Budig <simon.budig@kernelconcepts.de>
alias:          i2c:edt-ft5x06
alias:          of:N*T*Cedt,edt-ft5406*
alias:          of:N*T*Cedt,edt-ft5306*
alias:          of:N*T*Cedt,edt-ft5206*
depends:        i2c-core
intree:         Y
vermagic:       3.17.0+ SMP preempt mod_unload 

As you can see we already have what I consider proper modaliases for the
driver. Why don't they work? Is it because modprobe doe snot know how to
handle OF-style modaliases or device's uevents are missing OF data in
them?

Thanks.

no, it's because i2c call request_module for i2c:edt-ft5306. i2c core
never uses any of the of aliases.

1. I think both i2c and spi are cheating in this regard: they should
rely on normal driver request paths through udev.

2. I2C should emit proper modalias for devices coming by the way of
devicetree. It already does special handling for ACPI, it needs to do
the same for OF. I think SPI does the right thing there.

Thanks.

I'll let Wolfram comment here for I2C.
