ipmi: add MODULE_ALIAS to load ipmi_devintf with ipmi_si
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
