If we are registering an i2c device that has a device tree node like
this real-world example:
rtc@68 {
compatible = "dallas,ds1337";
reg = <0x68>;
};
of_i2c_register_devices() will try to load a module called ds1337.ko.
There is no such module, so it will fail. If we look in modules.alias
we will find entries like these:
.
.
.
alias i2c:ds1339 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1338 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1337 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1307 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1374 rtc_ds1374
.
.
.
The module we want is really called rtc_ds1307.ko. If we request a
module called "i2c:ds1337", the userspace module loader will do the
right thing (unless it is busybox) and load rtc_ds1307.ko. So we add
the I2C_MODULE_PREFIX to the request_module() string.
