Subject: spmi: Include OF based modalias in device uevent

From: Bjorn Andersson <[email protected]>

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.
