This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

to the 4.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...

The filename of the patch is: i2c-core-report-of-style-module-alias-for-devices-registered-via-of.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.16 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

Please don't add this patch to any stable tree, since it requires all drivers to have a proper OF device ID table. This is true in mainline, but it may not be true in older stable kernels.

Best regards,
