[ Upstream commit cbc3d00cf88fda95dbcafee3b38655b7a8f2650a ]

Without this 'else' statement, an "usb" name goes into two handlers:
the first/previous 'if' statement _AND_ the for-loop over 'devtable',
but the latter is useless as it has no 'usb' device_id entry anyway.

Tested with allmodconfig before/after patch; no changes to *.mod.c:

    git checkout v6.6-rc3
    make -j$(nproc) allmodconfig
    make -j$(nproc) olddefconfig

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/before

    # apply patch

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/after

    diff -r /tmp/before/ /tmp/after/
    # no difference

Use specific prototype instead of an opaque pointer so that the
compiler can catch function prototype mismatch.

commit ec91e78d378cc5d4b43805a1227d8e04e5dfa17d upstream.

Commit e49ce14150c6 ("modpost: use linker section to generate table.")
was not so cool as we had expected first; it ended up with ugly section
hacks when commit dd2a3acaecd7 ("mod/file2alias: make modpost compile
on darwin again") came in.

Given a certain degree of unknowledge about the link stage of host
programs, I really want to see simple, stupid table lookup so that
this works in the same way regardless of the underlying executable
format.

The commit 8724ecb07229 ("Input: allow matching device IDs on property
bits") started using property bits when generating module aliases for input
handlers, but did not adjust the generation of MODALIAS attribute on input
device uevents, breaking automatic module loading. Given that no handler
currently uses property bits in their module tables, let's revert this part
of the commit for now.

<title>of: fix autoloading due to broken modalias with no 'compatible'</title>

<content type='text'>
Because of an improper dereference, a stray 'C' character was output to
the modalias when no 'compatible' was specified. This is the case for
some old PowerMac drivers which only set the 'name' property. Fix it to
let them match again.

<title>modpost: fix module autoloading for OF devices with generic compatible property</title>

<id>urn:sha1:acbef7b7662953cec96c243db4009ac561d88989</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the wildcard at the end of OF module aliases is gone, autoloading
of modules that don't match a device's last (most generic) compatible
value fails.

For example the CODA960 VPU on i.MX6Q has the SoC specific compatible
"fsl,imx6q-vpu" and the generic compatible "cnm,coda960".  Since the
driver currently only works with knowledge about the SoC specific
integration, it doesn't list "cnm,cod960" in the module device table.

This results in the device compatible
"of:NvpuT&lt;NULL&gt;Cfsl,imx6q-vpuCcnm,coda960" not matching the module alias
"of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu" anymore, whereas before commit 2f632369ab79
("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") it
matched the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu*".

This patch adds two module aliases for each compatible, one without the
wildcard and one with "C*" appended.

  $ modinfo coda | grep imx6q
  alias:          of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpuC*
  alias:          of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu

<content type='text'>
Commit ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
removed the wildcard at the end of the I2C module aliases because I2C
devices have no IDs so the aliases are just arbitrary device names.

This is also true for OF modaliases since a compatible string is used to
define a specific IP hardware block.  So the modalias should match a
specific compatible string and not attempt to match a compatible string
whose name matches the beginning of another one.

For example, the following driver module:

  $ modinfo cros_ec_keyb | grep alias
  alias:          platform:cros-ec-keyb
  alias:          of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb*

will be tried to be loaded for an alias of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb-v2
but there could be a different driver that supports the device for that
compatible string so it's better to remove the trailing wildcard for OF.

Also, remove the word "always" from the add_wildcard() function comment
since that was carried from the time where a wildcard was always added
at the end of the module alias for all the devices.
