Currently, tagging protocol drivers have a modalias of "dsa_tag:id-<number>", where the number is one of DSA_TAG_PROTO_*_VALUE. This modalias makes it possible for the request_module() call in dsa_tag_driver_get() to work, given the input it has - an integer returned by ds->ops->get_tag_protocol(). It is also possible to change tagging protocols at (pseudo-)runtime, via sysfs or via device tree, and this works via the name string of the tagging protocol rather than via its id (DSA_TAG_PROTO_*_VALUE). In the latter case, there is no request_module() call, because there is no association that the DSA core has between the string name and the ID, to construct the modalias. The module is simply assumed to have been inserted. This is actually slightly problematic when the tagging protocol change should take place at probe time, since it's expected that the dependency module should get autoloaded. For this purpose, let's introduce a second modalias, so that the DSA core can call request_module() by name. There is no reason to make the modalias by name optional, so just modify the MODULE_ALIAS_DSA_TAG_DRIVER() macro to take both the ID and the name as arguments, and generate two modaliases behind the scenes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
