Because for some reason the driver name isn't rtc-ds1742 ... My preferred style for such patches puts the MODULE_ALIAS up near the strange driver name, so it's more clear what's going on. Putting all the MODULE_*() stuff at the end of the file gets confusing in this case. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
