I'd rather create an alias only when the string is not NULL. Given this is a macro, I believe it won't work.
Indeed I think we should create an alias only for the supported case or 2 aliases if both are supported.
Can you think of any other way in the code to create the alias?
To be honest I did not find any elegant solution either. Personally I would move the MODULE_ALIAS for compat/acpihid outside of module_vfio_reset_handler macro, directly in the reset module. But maybe someone will propose a better solution? Best Regards Eric
