ixp4xx-beeper: add MODULE_ALIAS
The following patch allows ixp4xx-beeper to be loaded by udev
automatically when compiled as a module with kernel versions 2.4.24 and
greater.
This patch is required because 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf
("platform: prefix MODALIAS with "platform:"") changed the modalias
string to have the extra prefix.
LKG7102D7:~# udevinfo -a -p /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4
looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4':
KERNEL=="ixp4xx-beeper.4"
SUBSYSTEM=="platform"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{modalias}=="platform:ixp4xx-beeper"
udev therefore tries to modprobe platform:ixp4xx-beeper instead of
ixp4xx-beeper.
LKG7102D7:~# udevtest /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4
...

import_uevent_var: import into environment: 'MODALIAS=platform:ixp4xx-beeper'
main: looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4' from
subsystem 'platform'

main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor'
main: run: '/sbin/modprobe --use-blacklist platform:ixp4xx-beeper'
With this patch, depmod adds an alias line (see below) to
modules.alias which allows modprobe to load the right module.
