Hi Javier,

If the driver is built as a module, I2C module alias information is not
filled so the module won't be autoloaded. Export the I2C and OF devices
ID to the module by using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.

Before this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/power/supply/max14656_charger_detector.ko | grep alias
$

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/power/supply/max14656_charger_detector.ko | grep alias
alias:          i2c:max14656
alias:          of:N*T*Cmaxim,max14656C*
alias:          of:N*T*Cmaxim,max14656

Thanks, queued into power-supply's for-next.
