And why do we want to do that?

The wanted to have some information for use by udev. After looking at
the patch I wonder why they can't use the cutype/devtype attributes.
They already contain the information that gets exported by the new
attribute. It might be a little bit harder to parse because devtype can
be "n/a" but that certainly isn't rocket science.

The modalias entry is matched against the alias strings generated by
modpost and put into /lib/modules/$ver/modules.alias. This needs no
special knowledge about this sort of hardware.

Just take a look on how it is used by the pci and usb system.

But anyway, one part is missing: The same string needs to be put in the
environment for hotplug as MODALIAS. And the n/a should be put as
dt0000dm00 in the string.

So you can do:
modprobe `echo /sys/device/path_to_device/modalias`
and the proper driver will automatically be loaded by userspace.
