[PATCH v3 3/4] driver core: platform: set mod_name in driver registration

Wed Apr 22 02:49:05 PDT 2026


Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the driver registration macro so that
the driver core can create the module symlink in sysfs for built-in
drivers, and fixup all callers.

The Rust platform adapter is updated to pass the module name through to the new
parameter.

Tested on qemu with:
- x86 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST
- arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST + CONFIG_CORESIGHT stuff

Examples after this patch:

    /sys/bus/platform/drivers/...
        coresight-itnoc/module		-> coresight_tnoc
        coresight-static-tpdm/module	-> coresight_tpdm
        coresight-catu-platform/module	-> coresight_catu
        serial8250/module		-> 8250
        acpi-ged/module			-> acpi
        vmclock/module			-> ptp_vmclock
