From 8905aaafb4b5d9764c5b4b54c7d03eb41bb0a7e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 09:52:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Input: uinput - add devname alias to allow module on-demand load Recent modprobe and udev versions allow to create device nodes for modules which are not loaded. Only the first access will cause the in-kernel module loader to pull-in the module. Systems which never access the device node will not needlessly load the module, and no longer need init scripts or other facilities to unconditionally load it.
