That's exactly how I understood MODULE_ALIAS() to work.
And it works, in short, because a platform device fires a "MODALIAS=platform:[...]" uevent when it's created. And userspace uses that uevent to load the module carrying that alias.
Let's put it this was. If one does sudo find /sys -perm -o=r -name uevent -exec grep -H MODALIAS=platform: {} ;
or sudo find /sys -perm -o=r -name modalias -exec grep -H platform: {} ;
(both lists should be similar)
on the systems this patch is targeting, will platform:rockchip-snd-max98090
then show up?
Thanks,

Thank you for your patience and detailed explanation. I tested your two ways and didn't find the "platform:rockchip-snd-max98090" in my device(kernel v3.14), and the driver path is: localhost rockchip-snd-max98090 # pwd /sys/bus/platform/drivers/rockchip-snd-max98090
Thanks.
