+Subject: [PATCH] of: Fix modalias string generation
+
+The helper generating an OF based modalias (of_device_get_modalias())
+works fine, but due to the use of snprintf() internally it needs a
+buffer one byte longer than what should be needed just for the entire
+string (excluding the '\0'). Most users of this helper are sysfs hooks
+providing the modalias string to users. They all provide a PAGE_SIZE
+buffer which is way above the number of bytes required to fit the
+modalias string and hence do not suffer from this issue.
+
+There is another user though, of_device_request_module(), which is only
+called by drivers/usb/common/ulpi.c. This request module function is
+faulty, but maybe because in most cases there is an alternative, ULPI
+driver users have not noticed it.
+
+In this function, of_device_get_modalias() is called twice. The first
+time without buffer just to get the number of bytes required by the
+modalias string (excluding the null byte), and a second time, after
+buffer allocation, to fill the buffer. The allocation asks for an
+additional byte, in order to store the trailing '\0'. However, the
+buffer *length* provided to of_device_get_modalias() excludes this extra
+byte. The internal use of snprintf() with a length that is exactly the
+number of bytes to be written has the effect of using the last available
+byte to store a '\0', which then smashes the last character of the
+modalias string.
+
+Provide the actual size of the buffer to of_device_get_modalias() to fix
+this issue.
+
+Note: the "str[size - 1] = '\0';" line is not really needed as snprintf
+will anyway end the string with a null byte, but there is a possibility
+that this function might be called on a struct device_node without
+compatible, in this case snprintf() would not be executed. So we keep it
+just to avoid possible unbounded strings.

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Update of_device_get_modalias()
+
+This function only needs a "struct device_node" to work, but for
+convenience the author (and only user) of this helper did use a "struct
+device" and put it in device.c.
+
+Let's convert this helper to take a "struct device node" instead. This
+change asks for two additional changes: renaming it "of_modalias()"
+to fit the current naming, and moving it outside of device.c which will
+be done in a follow-up commit.

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Rename of_modalias_node()
+
+This helper does not produce a real modalias, but tries to get the
+"product" compatible part of the "vendor,product" compatibles only. It
+is far from creating a purely useful modalias string and does not seem
+to be used like that directly anyway, so let's try to give this helper a
+more meaningful name before moving there a real modalias helper (already
+existing under of/device.c).
+
+Also update the various documentations to refer to the strings as
+"aliases" rather than "modaliases" which has a real meaning in the Linux
+kernel.
+
+There is no functional change.

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Move of_modalias() to module.c
+
+Create a specific .c file for OF related module handling.
+Move of_modalias() inside as a first step.
+
+The helper is exposed through of.h even though it is only used by core
+files because the users from device.c will soon be split into an OF-only
+helper in module.c as well as a device-oriented inline helper in
+of_device.h. Putting this helper in of_private.h would require to
+include of_private.h from of_device.h, which is not acceptable.

+
+Depending on device.c for pure OF handling is considered
+backwards. Let's extract the content of of_device_request_module() to
+have the real logic under module.c.
+
+The next step will be to convert users of of_device_request_module() to

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Fix modalias string generation
+
+The helper generating an OF based modalias (of_device_get_modalias())
+works fine, but due to the use of snprintf() internally it needs a
+buffer one byte longer than what should be needed just for the entire
+string (excluding the '\0'). Most users of this helper are sysfs hooks
+providing the modalias string to users. They all provide a PAGE_SIZE
+buffer which is way above the number of bytes required to fit the
+modalias string and hence do not suffer from this issue.
+
+There is another user though, of_device_request_module(), which is only
+called by drivers/usb/common/ulpi.c. This request module function is
+faulty, but maybe because in most cases there is an alternative, ULPI
+driver users have not noticed it.
+
+In this function, of_device_get_modalias() is called twice. The first
+time without buffer just to get the number of bytes required by the
+modalias string (excluding the null byte), and a second time, after
+buffer allocation, to fill the buffer. The allocation asks for an
+additional byte, in order to store the trailing '\0'. However, the
+buffer *length* provided to of_device_get_modalias() excludes this extra
+byte. The internal use of snprintf() with a length that is exactly the
+number of bytes to be written has the effect of using the last available
+byte to store a '\0', which then smashes the last character of the
+modalias string.
+
+Provide the actual size of the buffer to of_device_get_modalias() to fix
+this issue.
+
+Note: the "str[size - 1] = '\0';" line is not really needed as snprintf
+will anyway end the string with a null byte, but there is a possibility
+that this function might be called on a struct device_node without
+compatible, in this case snprintf() would not be executed. So we keep it
+just to avoid possible unbounded strings.

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Update of_device_get_modalias()
+
+This function only needs a "struct device_node" to work, but for
+convenience the author (and only user) of this helper did use a "struct
+device" and put it in device.c.
+
+Let's convert this helper to take a "struct device node" instead. This
+change asks for two additional changes: renaming it "of_modalias()"
+to fit the current naming, and moving it outside of device.c which will
+be done in a follow-up commit.

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Rename of_modalias_node()
+
+This helper does not produce a real modalias, but tries to get the
+"product" compatible part of the "vendor,product" compatibles only. It
+is far from creating a purely useful modalias string and does not seem
+to be used like that directly anyway, so let's try to give this helper a
+more meaningful name before moving there a real modalias helper (already
+existing under of/device.c).
+
+Also update the various documentations to refer to the strings as
+"aliases" rather than "modaliases" which has a real meaning in the Linux
+kernel.
+
+There is no functional change.

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Move of_modalias() to module.c
+
+Create a specific .c file for OF related module handling.
+Move of_modalias() inside as a first step.
+
+The helper is exposed through of.h even though it is only used by core
+files because the users from device.c will soon be split into an OF-only
+helper in module.c as well as a device-oriented inline helper in
+of_device.h. Putting this helper in of_private.h would require to
+include of_private.h from of_device.h, which is not acceptable.

+Subject: [PATCH] of: Move the request module helper logic to module.c
+
+Depending on device.c for pure OF handling is considered
+backwards. Let's extract the content of of_device_request_module() to
+have the real logic under module.c.
+
+The next step will be to convert users of of_device_request_module() to
+use the new helper.
