Hello,

This is a resend of the patches that were not picked from the series
"[PATCH 00/27] Export I2C and OF module aliases in missing drivers" [0]
posted about a month ago.

The patches have no dependencies and can be picked individually by the
relevant maintainer.

I preferred to resend instead of sending a naked ping for each patch
that I got no answer.

Best regards,
Javier

## \[RESEND PATCH 2/7\] backlight: tosa: Export I2C module alias information

The I2C core always reports the MODALIAS uevent as "i2c:<modalias>"
regardless of the mechanism that was used to register the device
(i.e: OF or board code) and the table that is used later to match
the driver with the device (i.e: I2C id table or OF match table).

So drivers needs to export the I2C id table and this be built into
the module or udev won't have the necessary information to autoload
the needed driver module when the device is added.
