<Md> joeyh: I remember talking about #398962 with waldi, IIRC platform devices 
in recent kernels provide $MODALIAS while they should not. so udev will always 
try loading again the driver after it has been loaded
<Md> I suppose I could add a workaround in udev since I do not know about any 
platform driver which provides a meaningful $MODALIAS
<fjp> Md: Has there been a discussion with kernel developers about that? 
Will/has it been fixed in later kernels?
<Md> fjp: no clue. somebody should ask greg k-h but I am too much busy these 
days
<joeyh> Md: afaics, there's no way udev can autoload that pcmcia bridge driver 
.. would just blacklisting it in udev make sense? Is there a way to blacklist 
it that doesn't blacklist it from modprobe?
<Md> joeyh: try adding in hotplug.rules, as the third line: 
SUBSYSTEM=="platform", GOTO="hotplug_driver_loaded"
<Md> IIRC it uses SUBSYSTEM=="platform", double check the log if needed
<joeyh> ok, that works, tested in d-i
<Md> I will add the workaround to the next upload
<joeyh> I imagine a more targeted rule that also matches the driver would also 
work
<joeyh> at least for this one module.. dunno about other platform modules..
<Md> all platform drivers have this problem, the bug is in the drivers core
