spi: Revert modalias changes
During the v5.13 cycle we updated the SPI subsystem to generate OF style modaliases for SPI devices, replacing the old Linux style modalises we used to generate based on spi_device_id which are the DT style name with the vendor removed. Unfortunately this means that we start only reporting OF style modalises and not the old ones and there is nothing that ensures that drivers list every possible OF compatible string in their OF ID table. The result is that there are systems which have been relying on loading modules based on the old style that are now broken, as found by Russell King with spi-nor on Macchiatobin. spi-nor is a particularly problematic case for this, it only lists a single generic DT compatible jedec,spi-nor in the driver but supports a huge raft of device specific compatibles, with a large set of part numbers many of which are offered by multiple vendors. Russell's searches of upstream device trees has turned up examples with vendor names written in non-standard ways too. To make matters worse up until 8ff16cf7 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec" binding") the generic compatible was not part of the binding so there are device trees out there written to that binding version which don't list it all. The sheer number of parts supported together with our previous approach of ignoring the vendor ID makes robustly fixing this by adding compatibles to the spi-nor driver seem problematic, the current DT binding document does not list all the parts supported by the driver at the minute (further patches will fix this). I've also investigated supporting both formats of modalias simultaneously but that doesn't seem possible, especially without breaking our userspace ABI which is obviously not viable. Instead revert the relevant changes for now: e09f2ab8 ("spi: update modalias_show after of_device_uevent_modalias support") 3ce6c9e2 ("spi: add of_device_uevent_modalias support") This will unfortunately mean that any system which had started having modules autoload based on the OF compatibles for drivers that list things there but not in the spi_device_ids will now not have those modules load which is itself a regression. Since it affects a narrower time window and the particularly problematic spi-nor driver may be critical to system boot on smaller systems this seems the best of a series of bad options. I will start an audit of SPI drivers to identify and fix cases where things won't autoload using spi_device_id, this is not great but seems to be the best way forward that anyone has been able to identify. Thanks to Russell for both his report and the additional diagnostic and analysis work he has done here, the detailed research above was his work.
