In commit c973b8a7dc50 ("ASoC: cs4271: Split SPI and I2C code into different modules") the driver was slit into a core, an SPI and an I2C part.

However, the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, cs4271_dt_ids) was in the core part and so, module loading based on module.alias (based on DT compatible string matching) loads the core part but not the SPI or I2C parts.

In order to have the I2C or the SPI module loaded automatically, move the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...) the core to I2C and SPI parts. Also move cs4271_dt_ids itself from the core part to I2C and SPI parts as both the call to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...) and the cs4271_dt_ids table itself need to be in the same file.

I'm a bit confused by this change. What do you have in SYSFS "uevent" entry for the real device?

If you consider spi_uevent() and i2c_device_uevent(), "MODALIAS=" in the "uevent" should be prefixed with either "spi:" or "i2c:". And this isn't what you adress in your patch.

You provide [identical] "of:" prefixed modalias to two different modules (not sure, how this should work), but cs4271 is not an MMIO device, so it should not generate an "of:" prefixed uevent.

Could you please show the relevant DT snippet for the affected HW?
