Many of the drivers under drivers/staging/fbtft use a comparable set of
aliases. But I wonder if they are all needed (here, and in the other
drivers).
In this case I think I understand how the "fb_uc1611" .modalias (see
below) will eventually trigger a "MODALIAS=spi:fb_uc1611" uevent. And
that uevent will make userspace load the fb_uc1611.ko module, right?
But is there a similar way that "spi:uc1611" fits into the system?
Because I couldn't spot anything similar for "uc1611".
Likewise, "platform:fb_uc1611" and "platform:uc1611" require struct
platform_device's with "fb_uc1611" and "uc1611" .name's. But I couldn't
spot where platform_device's with those .name's are created. How do
these two aliases fit into the system?
