[PATCH 4.9 075/134] misc: eeprom_93xx46: Add module alias to avoid breaking support for non device tree users

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-03-01 17:49:17
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: char and misc drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

From: Aswath Govindraju <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 4540b9fbd8ebb21bb3735796d300a1589ee5fbf2 ]

Module alias "spi:93xx46" is used by non device tree users like
drivers/misc/eeprom/digsy_mtc_eeprom.c  and removing it will
break support for them.

Fix this by adding back the module alias "spi:93xx46".
