Subject: hwmon: (nct7904) Export I2C module alias information

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <[email protected]>

commit 1252be9ce0ab4f622b8692b648894d09c0df71ce upstream.

The I2C core always reports the MODALIAS uevent as "i2c:<client name" regardless if the driver was matched using the I2C id_table or the of_match_table. So the driver needs to export the I2C table and this be built into the module or udev won't have the necessary information to auto load the correct module when the device is added.
