But I was talking about the MODULE_ALIAS() macro. Trivial as it is, since I still don't see where a "MODALIAS=platform:xilinx-mailbox" uevent could come from I still don't see the point of this line. As I asked in my first message: what breaks if this line is dropped? > Also it is quite common that users create own BSP for their custom > boards but they don't push it to mainline.
