Yo
This patch allows new style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). I've
tested it on PowerPC and x86. This change is required for PowerPC
device tree support.

This patch allows new style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). I've
tested it on PowerPC and x86. This change is required for PowerPC
device tree support.
