Hi,
Can some one please help me understand what does the use of MODULE_ALIAS() achieve?
In the simple char driver "drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c", I see the following in addition to the regular stuff.
/* work with hotplug and coldplug */
MODULE_ALIAS("platform:omap_rng");
Can some one tell me what is the above indicating?
Thanks,
Rajat
