| Subject: ipmi: add MODULE_ALIAS to load ipmi_devintf with ipmi_si |
| To: jejb@kernel.org, stable@kernel.org |
| Message-ID: <200810301910.m9UJA4GB012904@hera.kernel.org> |

| commit 6c89161b10f5771ee0b51ada0fce0e8835e72ade upstream |
| |
| The ipmi_devintf module contains the userspace interface for IPMI devices, |
| yet will not be loaded automatically with a system interface handler |
| driver. |
| |
| Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by the |
| ipmi_si driver, so that userspace knows of the recommendation. |
