That's a good idea.

It actually works like this now:

 # cd /sys/bus/platform/devices/PRP0001\:00/
 DRIVER=leds-gpio
 MODALIAS=of:Nprp0001TacpiCgpio-leds

 # cat modalias 
 of:Nprp0001TacpiCgpio-leds

In other words the modalias changes to be of:Nprp0001Tacpi, e.g
name=prp0001, type=acpi and then list of compatible values.

Udev then loads only module that matches the modalias so it should not
load everything listing PRP0001 in their MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().
