This patch fixes mutiple defined issue to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
The issue could be induced when some framework which includes two
more sub drivers, is built as one moudle because those sub drivers
could have their own MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.
And 'struct of_device_id' isn't needed to be determined by type
argument because the definition of 'of_device_id' should be fixed.
So this patch makes 'of_devce_id' definition to be fixed and
only its instance name to be defined by type.

s/mutiple/multiple/, still this sentence doesn't sound right. What is
the error message you see?

include/linux/isapnp.h uses:
#define ISAPNP_CARD_TABLE(name) \
MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(isapnp_card, name)
and you changed the table's type with your patch. Ditto for all users of
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...);
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, ...);
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, ...);
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, ...);
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(sdio, ...);
So I'm pretty sure your patch is wrong and I expect it makes most
defconfigs fail to compile.

It might be my big mistake. Maybe xxx_device_id object was created device
tree internally. Right? Will check it out again. So please ignore it.

This patch (a) looks wrong (why would a generic device table be limited
to of_device_id when it could be ISAPNP or something else?) and (b) how
does changing the type fix the "multiple defined issue" ? (c) include
the errors that you're fixing in the commit log.

There was my misunderstanding. So please ignore my patch. Some headers in
include/linux/ have some kind of device_id structure such as of_device_id,
platform_device_id, i2c_device_id, and so on. And these structures should be
used properly. This was my missing point.
