Hi Tomi,

I am a bit confused.

So how the OMAP DRM auto loading is supposed to work when using Device Trees?
As far as I can tell, the main omap drm driver does not have a OF device ID
table and a .of_match it only has a MODULE_ALIAS("platform:" DRIVER_NAME),
but the tiler driver (that is built-in the omap drm driver) does have a a
OF device ID table and I see in DTS that are device nodes using those compatible
strings

$ git grep omap4-dmm arch/arm/boot/dts/omap*
arch/arm/boot/dts/omap4.dtsi: compatible = "ti,omap4-dmm";

Does that mean there is no need for MODULE_ALIAS("platform:" DMM_DRIVER_NAME)?

Because right now omapdrm.ko is exporting the alias for legacy / platform
device registration but not for OF.

Thanks,
Luis
