Subject: [PATCH] spmi: Include OF based modalias in device uevent

Include the OF-based modalias in the uevent sent when registering SPMI
devices, so that user space has a chance to autoload the kernel module
for the device.

Based on the MODULE_ALIAS in the qcom-spmi-pmic it's likely that the original
author expected that the spmi-pmic-arb would create devices by the identifier
"pmic" and the spmi code would include a MODALIAS="spmi:pmic" in the uevent.
