Subject: [PATCH 3.16 024/294] spmi: Include OF based modalias in device uevent

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@...aro.org>

commit d50daa2af2618dab6d21634e65a5fbcf4ae437d6 upstream.

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.
