Serdev controllers are not bound to any drivers and it therefore makes no sense to generate modaliases for them. This has already been fixed separately for ACPI controllers for which uevent errors were also being logged during probe due to the missing ACPI companions (from which ACPI modaliases are generated). This patch moves the modalias handling from the bus type to the client device type. Specifically, this means that only serdev devices (a.k.a. clients or slaves) will have have MODALIAS fields in their uevent environments and corresponding modalias sysfs attributes. Also add the missing static keyword for the modalias device attribute when moving the definition.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
