Most OF drivers have the OF MODALIAS.

'platform_uevent' can only emit one MODALIAS string per device (only
the last emitted one seems to count), so for any device with
'dev->of_node' set it will be the OF MODALIAS string. So I need
that table (to generate the OF MODALIAS) or this sub-device module
will not be loaded.
