VC04 has now a independent bus vchiq_bus to register its devices. However, the module auto-loading for bcm2835-audio and bcm2835-camera currently happens through MODULE_ALIAS() macro specified explicitly. The correct way to auto-load a module, is when the alias is picked out from MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). In order to get there, we need to introduce vchiq_device_id and add relevant entries in file2alias.c infrastructure so that aliases can be generated. This patch targets adding vchiq_device_id and do_vchiq_entry, in order to generate those alias using the /script/mod/file2alias.c. Going forward the MODULE_ALIAS() from bcm2835-camera and bcm2835-audio will be dropped, in favour of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE being used there. The alias format for vchiq_bus devices will be "vchiq:<dev_name>". Adjust the vchiq_bus_uevent() to reflect that.

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.
